The principal of Future Leaders Institute denied a plan to grow the co-located K-8 charter school.

The percentage of African-American students at local schools has steadily declined over the past decade.

P.S. 87 and P.S. 9 are both getting an additional kindergarten class next school under the DOE's plan.

Success Academy has submitted a proposal to create charter schools in Districts 2 and 3.

The P.S. 199 waitlist increased dramatically this year, which parents are blaming on K Connect. 

Education leaders are now racing to work out the specifics of the new 6-12 school on W. 61st St.
