When you take a look at the Upper west side school rezoning which had received approval late last year and will take effect for the 2017 school year who were the winners and who were the losers? Well, the plan was to integrate the system and relieve overcrowding. PS 452 which is a sought after small school will move into a larger facility and PS 191 moves into a brand new luxury building and in a state of the art facility. PS 191 also starts a gifted and talented program beginning with 3rd grade.

PS 199 one of the most highly regarded schools in District 3 will see it’s zone shrink to alleviate crowding at the school on West 70th street. If PS 191 turns into the school that the District hopes then this rezoning will be a win on all sides. What do you think?
