P.S. 399 Stanley Eugene Clark

P.S. 399 Stanley Eugene Clark is a K-5 elementary school in Brooklyn, serving a small student body with a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners. The school is notably recognized as a community school, providing extensive wrap-around services to families, including free after-school programs with academic support and snacks, as well as health and welfare assistance. This commitment to holistic student and family support is a defining characteristic. While parent survey data indicates exceptionally high satisfaction with the school environment and family relationships, academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is a significant area for growth, falling below citywide benchmarks. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio. Parent sentiment from online reviews is mixed, with some praising caring teachers and specific programs, while others express concerns about administrative changes and support for students with learning disabilities.
