P. S. 54 Enrollment

P.S. 54 enrolls students from 3K through Grade 5. There are approximately 4 classes on each grade. Of those 4 classes,  1 -2 of them are Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) classrooms on each grade. An ICT classroom is designed to create a challenging and enriching learning environment for both general education students (60% of the class) and children with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that mandate a ICT class (40% of the class). In addition to ICT classes, there we have a 12:1 self-contained class on each grade from Kindergarten through Grade 5.
