P.S. 1 Tottenville

P.S. 1 Tottenville in South Shore is a neighborhood school serving grades Pre-K through 5. This school is in its own building.

This is a school where children who enter with low, middle and high test scores will do well, as compared to other schools in the city. In the Pre-K classes, teachers ask children questions, invite back-and-forth conversation to develop language skills, mutual respect and promote positive social interactions . Children are encouraged to communicate and learn language skills through books, puppets or blocks. They have lots of time to talk and ask questions. The principal has been leading this school since 2011.

This school prioritizes children who live in the school zone, but anyone is welcome to apply. Type your address into our school search to see your zoned school.
