school overcrowding

The addition at IS 125 is meant to replace the school's temporary classrooms, the DOE said.

The city plans to change the boundaries for I.S. 145 and I.S. 230.

The long-awaited deal will create additional school seats for West Village and Greenwich Village kids.

After years of complaints from parents and advocates, the DOE has agreed that more seats are needed.

More than 100 kids remain on the wait-lists for Downtown kindergartens.

P.S. 234 and P.S. 276 will both have to hold lotteries for kindergarten this year.

Lower Manhattan's elementary schools are popular but overcrowded.

Some Upper West Side elementary schools are overcrowded, while magnet schools offer an alternative.

The neighborhood is getting a new K-5 school in the fall of 2013 to ease the space crunch.

Officials broke ground on P.S. 313, saying the new school will help overcrowding in Queens District 24.

The city will build an addition at crowded P.S. 11, which has used portable classrooms for over a decade.

Designs for the future P.S. 313 were presented at a Community Board 2 meeting.

Some Woodside residents worry that P.S. 339, slated to open on 57th Street will aggravate traffic.

Parents at the Battery Park City school want to limit the number of kindergarten classes next fall.

Principal Kelly Shannon says passing the DOE's latest rezoning proposal is among her top priorities.
