P.S. 250 George H. Lindsay

P.S. 250 George H. Lindsay is a small elementary school in Brooklyn serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade. The school is recognized for its inclusive environment and strong family engagement, with parent surveys indicating overwhelmingly positive feedback on their child's education and relationships with the school community. It offers a Chinese Dual Language program and features a strong focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), including two dedicated labs for coding, animation, and robotics, as well as a hydroponics lab. The school also emphasizes the arts, with students participating in district art festivals. While the school maintains a very low suspension rate, indicating a positive climate, academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is a concern, falling below the citywide 25th percentile. The school serves a high proportion of students with economic need, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Parents describe a re-energized school climate under recent leadership, noting new initiatives such as an ELA Academy and the re-implementation of recess.
