Magnet School of Math, Science and Design Technology

The Magnet School of Math, Science and Design Technology, also known as PS 10, is a large PK-5 elementary school in Brooklyn that consistently demonstrates strong academic performance. Students achieve proficiency in English Language Arts and Math at rates well above the citywide 75th percentile, placing the school among the top elementary schools in New York for academic achievement, particularly for Asian and White students, and students with special needs. Parents generally express high satisfaction, praising the welcoming community, dedicated staff, and strong leadership. The school is noted for its wide range of programming, including music, chorus, cooking classes, and robust after-school activities. While the school is large, many families feel it maintains a smaller, close-knit atmosphere. The school's legacy as a magnet school is reflected in its focus on math, science, and design technology, offering enrichment in areas like art, dance, theater, and Spanish. However, some past feedback has raised concerns about academic rigor and support, and an older review mentioned issues with bullying and equitable treatment for children of color.
