About
P.S. 595 The Colibrí Community School in the Bronx serves students from Pre-K through 5th grade, emphasizing a dual language Spanish-English education. The school is known for its commitment to "Equity, Family, and Joy," offering a curriculum that includes music, drama, and hands-on learning. It provides extensive support for students with disabilities, including a Bilingual Special Education program and an Autism Horizon Program. Extracurricular activities are available through a partnership with Phipps Neighborhood for afterschool programming. While the school maintains a strong attendance rate, at the 75th percentile citywide, academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is a concern. ELA scores are well below the citywide 25th percentile, and Math scores are around the 25th percentile. Parents generally express satisfaction with their child's education, and the school is recognized for its positive culture. The school is housed in a partially accessible building.
