Schools in the Community

Schools play a vital role in the community and in your neighborhood. We work hard to make our schools centerpieces of community activity in over 1,260 locations across the five boroughs.

Planning the Portfolio of Schools

We work each year to create a diverse portfolio of schools that offer great options to families in the City.

School Facilities

Students learn more and achieve at higher levels when they go to schools that are safe, in good repair, and not overcrowded.

Public Art for Public Schools

As fixtures in all of the City's neighborhoods, our schools have over 1,500 pieces of historical and modern art.

Community Involvement

We stay involved with the community through community organizations, neighborhoods, and local, regional, and national political leaders.

Get Involved

Getting involved can mean different things for different people. For parents, getting involved can mean helping out at school, getting involved in a parent association or parent-teacher association, or getting involved on a district or citywide level.

Service In Schools

All New York City public schools engage in service and service learning.
