BY BILL PARRY
Calling P.S. 360 in St.
Albans a flourishing school,
City Councilman I. Daneek
Miller and Schools Chancellor
Richard Carranza paid a
year-end visit to the students,
teachers, administrators and
staff that make up the learning
community at the school.
P.S. 360 currently serves
more than 150 students both
Pre-K and Kindergarten
through Grade 3, 95 percent of
whom are black, and employs
a bilingual teacher corps that
is motivated by the goal of
enabling its pupils to speak
conversational Spanish by the
time they graduate.
“Our community is
immensely supportive of the
work being performed by
the Chancellor’s team at the
Department of Education in
recruiting the best talent,
such as the faculty at P.S. 360,
whose cultural and academic
competence gives our children
a genuine opportunity to
receive the education they
have long deserved.”
Launched in 2015, the four
year school prides itself on its
ability to meet the needs of all
its students “academically,
socially, and emotionally.” and
enjoys overall positive ratings
in recently published DOE
surveys for both students and
teacher attendance as well as
rigorous instruction for its
Early Childhood Education
and Pre-K programs.
P.S. 360 achieved a
milestone in its young
history this past spring
when every student in the
school’s inaugural third
grade class passed Day One of
both the State Mathematics
and English Language
Arts examinations.
“As the 2018-19 school
year comes to a close, we are
grateful to our teachers and
staff who are raising the bar
and improving outcomes
for our students, and to the
families and community
members in Southeast Queens
who are working hand-in-hand
with us to advance equity and
