(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My nine year old and six year old both attend PS 295. It's a wonderful, small, diverse school with an amazing administration and faculty. The community and pta do a great job making the experience intimate. The school is also academically strong, scoring an A on the school wide city report card last year.
