I personally like this school. But i dont think some of the teachers meet the right standards to teach here.

I began my school journey at PS 70 back in 1968. I was there from Pre-K to 2nd grade. It is disappointing to the reviews (stats). I am studying to be a teacher and I would love to work at my old school. Things have changed but at the end of the day, it is about the students.
