(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a graduate student from P.S.31 all i can say is the teachers keep you up to date on work and help guide you to the academics you don't understand they make sure every student in the classroom learns everything. Also they have a good progress status out of every other middle school out there thanks to Ms,. Scarlato and Ms. Berger.
