P.S. 115 Daniel Mucatel School

P.S. 115 Daniel Mucatel School in Brooklyn serves students from Pre-K through 5th grade, operating as a large neighborhood elementary school. It maintains a generally positive reputation, with academic performance in both ELA and Math proficiency rates above the citywide median for elementary schools. The school fosters a supportive and safe environment, reflected in its excellent attendance rate, which is well above the citywide median, and a very low suspension rate. Chronic absenteeism is also better than the citywide median. Parents consistently report high satisfaction with the school, praising the caring staff and the overall educational experience. The school offers a District Gifted & Talented program for academically eligible kindergarteners, alongside its zoned early childhood and general education programs.

A recent change to the after-school program has caused some parent frustration regarding communication and seat availability.
