District 19

Located in East New York neighborhood in the southeast corner of Brooklyn, District 19 serves a mostly low-income population including residents of the 19 tower Boulevard public housing project and the Linden houses, with more than 3,000 residents. Despite its socio-economic disadvantages, the district has a few successful schools, and is home to PS 89, the only K-8 Spanish/English dual-language school open citywide.
