P.S. K225 - The Eileen E. Zaglin is a large PK-8 school in Brooklyn, serving over 1,000 students. The school is recognized for its diverse student body, including a significant population of English Language Learners. While official ratings for instruction and overall school climate are noted as "Fair," parent surveys consistently report overwhelmingly positive experiences, particularly regarding relationships with families.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are below the citywide 25th percentile, and math proficiency is below the citywide median. However, the school offers a notable amount of accelerated coursework, well above the citywide median, suggesting opportunities for advanced learning.

Parents appreciate the current principal's efforts in introducing new programs, afterschool support, sports, and VR learning for middle schoolers.
