The Downside
Far from rest of city
The southernmost school in New York State, IS 34 is located in the former home of Tottenville High School, a 1930s-era building refitted in the 1970s to function as a middle school.
Long-time principal John Boyle makes sure he visits every floor of the four-story building every day to chat with teachers and students. "It’s the personal connections that matter most in education," he told Chalkbeat. "Everyone has a story, and you are never going to hear it sitting in your office."
A neighborhood school with roots in the commmunity, many parents were once students at IS 34.
Admission: Zoned neighborhood school. (Clara Hemphill, web reports, February 2019)
