New York City Department of Education

The school is kept clean both inside and all around the grounds. There’s a lot of foot traffic in the area. Even with the high traffic I don’t see a lot of garbage. Every now and then I see a homeless person sleeping by the side door. They don’t set up camp for very long. I think someone keeps an eye on the premises so hanging around school grounds does not become a habit. The work on the side of 96^th street has been going on forever. I’ll be glad when it’s done. The sidewalks become narrow. They are in need of minor repair. This school is easily accessed by bus or subway. Both are right on the corner.
The playground is huge. The playground equipment colorful and kept clean. Since the school adjoins the park at 96^th and Lexington the whole block is one big playground and educational institution! There’s not anything more a neighborhood could ask for their children.
