(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I love this school. We recently moved to the neighborhood and we were kind of anxious to find out how the new school was going to be. PS 188 is a great school, clean, safe, wonderful Principal, wonderful teachers, as well as an excellente PTA. Their after school program is execellent too. Everybody is very involved in the well being of the students. They extremelly organized in every single way. As crazy as it may sound, my kids can't wait to go back to school the next day.
