P.S. 375 Jackie Robinson School, named after the legendary American hero, serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood. The school maintains a notably small enrollment, which contributes to a more intimate learning environment. Academic performance in English Language Arts and Math proficiency is a strength, with students achieving rates (60% ELA, 61% Math) that are well above the citywide median for elementary schools. Parents frequently express high satisfaction, particularly with the Pre-K program and the support provided for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Recent sentiment highlights a positive school atmosphere and strong leadership, with many families appreciating the dedicated and experienced teachers. The school is known for fostering a welcoming environment, and its small class sizes are often cited as a benefit.
