School Reviews
1 10/10/2025
I write this review with a heavy heart. I so wish I could leave my support for this all boy school that serves our minority boys in the Bronx in a brand new prestige building. But the fact of the matter is that our little boy is being discriminated against because he has a disability. Our boy has ADD and was told Boys Prep does not service children with disabilities and that a public school setting would be a better setting for him. When we tried to get a legal advocate to come to the school, the principal refused to come out and meet and in fact said he will not take any meetings to discuss this legal matter. With proper medication, IEP, and Para, our child should be able to continue to attend this school. What they are doing is illegal, discriminating, and heartbreaking.
