P.S. 5 Port Morris

P.S. 5 Port Morris, also known as the Port Morris School of Community Leadership, serves students from Pre-K through 8th grade in the Bronx. The school is recognized for its diverse arts programs, including music, art, dance, and theater, and offers a Spanish-English dual language program. It also emphasizes STEM education and integrates technology into classrooms with ActivPanels, laptops, and a multimedia lab. While parent sentiment often highlights caring teachers and numerous opportunities for children, academic performance in ELA and Math proficiency is below the citywide median. The school's instruction and performance rating is "Fair," with some reviews noting uneven teaching quality. Strengths include strong relationships with families, reflected in overwhelmingly positive parent survey responses, and a "Good" rating for safety and school climate, with most students feeling safe in school areas. The school also provides a free after-school program and a specialized ASD Horizon program for students with autism.
