P.S. 202 Ernest S. Jenkyns

P.S. 202 Ernest S. Jenkyns is a small K-5 elementary school in Brooklyn, serving approximately 215 students. The school primarily serves a high-needs population, with 95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a higher proportion of students with disabilities (30%) compared to the citywide median. Academic proficiency in both ELA (23%) and Math (22%) is a significant concern, as these figures fall well below the citywide 25th percentile for elementary schools. Class sizes are notably small, averaging 16.75 students. Despite academic challenges, parent sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with recent survey results showing 99-100% satisfaction across various questions, indicating strong relationships with families and a supportive environment. While some older online reviews express dissatisfaction with academic progress, more recent feedback from parents highlights positive experiences with teachers and early childhood programs.
