What school district is Ps/ms 498 Van Nest Academy part of?
I am a student at Van Nest Academy in the 5th-grade class of 501. I have been at the school since 2017 and visited the school before this. The teachers that I''ve had are great, the ones I''ve seen leave and the ones who I have seen since the first day. The teachers are efficient at spreading information as they let us talk to friends, thus letting us learn more. For state tests, I got my first one last year. I did not get one in Third grade because of Covid-19. I feel that as a result of the teacher''s efficiency at teaching and the talking in classes between students while the teachers weren''t talking, so basically you would hear nothing but talking the whole time. Back to the state tests. Because of what we were doing, most of us (most of the people who did well sat with our friends) did well. Four teachers who would let you talk are 1. Ms, Pellegrino 2. Mr. McConnel 3. Ms. McConnville 4. Mr. Lupinacci. This is all I could think of, so this would be the end of the review. Again, I love the school.
