will be renting in the PS 89 zone. have 3rd grader and 1st grader. do you children attending this school? are you happy with teachers/principal/curriculum? any comments welcome.
It's a great school. Principal is excellent. She is fighting some political fires now because the school report card from Klein just came out and she didn't fare well (the middle school got a D). That's a whole other discussion, but suffice it to say that she has always favored diversity and a very integrated curriculum. Parents of PS89 kids are generally very pleased with the school.
P.S.
Local newspaper, Downtown Express, has article on downtown schools, "Downtown objects to local schools' bad marks". PS 89 received a C grade. Here's the link to the article:

How reliable is insideschools.org anyway? Anyone find any inconsistencies with what is written there?
