Due to considerable ongoing budget cuts imposed by Federal, State and City agencies in the wake of financial distress the goal of our school is to raise the much-needed funds for enrichment programs and activities that will enhance the education and experience of our school children.
P.S. 57 is located in Park Hill, a multicultural community where a significant percentage of households are from diverse backgrounds. Unfortunately, our community also experiences some of the highest levels of poverty in New York City. According to a recent survey by the NYC Department of Health, over 78% of households in our neighborhood live below the poverty line. Due to our students coming from these at-risk communities, P.S. 57 is determined to find ways to provide the same opportunities and experiences for its students that are afforded to those in higher-income areas of the tri-state area.
