About
P.S. 025 Eubie Blake School, an elementary school in Brooklyn, closed its doors on June 26, 2025. Prior to its closure, it was known for its small, tight-knit community and the strong "love and family feeling" expressed by parents. Despite its small enrollment, which was a factor in its eventual closing, the school was celebrated by families for its dedicated educators and its positive impact on student confidence and performance. Academically, its ELA proficiency rate (37%) was below the citywide median (55%), and its math proficiency rate (43%) was also below the citywide median (55%) for elementary schools. The school offered an enriched arts program, featuring a STEM lab, dance studio, and music room. Community members actively fought to keep the school open, underscoring its significance as a neighborhood hub.
