Dos Puentes Elementary School has shown strong academic performance in recent years, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments.

This school is amazing. My son is receiving a public education that competes with any private school, and he is enrolled at a Title One public school in a very low income neighborhood in northern Manhattan where most of the kids qualify for free lunch. He is receiving a very solid dual language education from teachers and staff who are dedicated, experienced, highly qualified (many are professors/phds), and at the forefront of their field. His first grade teacher received the New York State Bilingual Teacher of the year award at the end of the school year! The kids start learning science from day ONE of kindergarten, and their curriculum is fully integrated across all fields of study, including a big emphasis on experiential learning that often has them going out on super fun and education field trips around NYC!
Anyone who is worried that public education is failing our kids should come check out Dos Puentes ... The energy is loving, positive, and centered around the child's own experience and abilities ... My son is smart and capable, but I NEVER have to worry about him being bored, because every other day he is forced to learn in Spanish (English is his primary language), so he will ALWAYS be challenged. Luckily he has lots of Spanish speaking classmates to help out, and vice versa. Close Quote
