P.S./I.S. 54

P.S./I.S. 54 in the Bronx serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade, maintaining a smaller enrollment of around 313 students. The school fosters a supportive environment, reflected in exceptionally high parent satisfaction rates across recent surveys and a very low suspension rate, which is a significant strength. Parents describe a school community where staff, including the principal, are actively involved and dedicated to student success. However, some online sentiment indicates mixed experiences, with concerns raised by a few parents regarding bullying and support for students with learning disabilities. Academically, the school's ELA and Math proficiency rates are below the citywide 25th percentile, indicating an area for growth. P.S./I.S. 54 offers a Spanish Dual Language program, alongside general education, Integrated Co-Teaching, and self-contained special education classes. The school also provides enrichment opportunities such as the Little Orchestra program and FAN4Kids, a health and wellness initiative, and is committed to a culturally responsive curriculum with core values of kindness and respect.
