(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The name of this school is actually 'PS40 Augustus St. Gauden's Elementary School'. My daughter attended k-5 and graduated last year. It's a very warm and nurturing yet academic learning environment. She loved it there and so did we.
The principle and staff are just great.
