Summary

PS 207 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 344 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 708 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 207 has shown a declining performance on state assessments over the past few years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math dropping significantly from 2020-2021 to 2021-2022. However, the school's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, who rank highly compared to their peers across the state. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.33% in 2021-2022 to 91.28% in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Nearby schools, such as Milton Fein School, PS 37 Multiple Intelligence School, and PS 360, generally perform better than PS 207 on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. However, these schools also serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The high-performing Zeta Charter School - Inwood, located within a mile of PS 207, significantly outperforms both PS 207 and the nearby district schools on state assessments.

Ms. Tara O’Brien (principal) and her team are a wonderful group of teachers and administrative professionals who are always willing and available to help not only the students but us the parents as well with anything we need to help our children succeed. Their curriculum not only focuses on academic development but also in social/ emotional development as well so are children are set up for success throughout the rest of their academic life and life in general.

This is a GREAT school! Historically, there were issues, however, six years ago, a new superintendent took over District 10 and a new principal was assigned to PS 207. Ever since, the school has completely turned around. Academics and Social Emotional Learning are a HUGE focus and if you visit the school, there is a warmth and JOY throughout. Close Quote

In all my years working for the DOE, I have met few leaders fully dedicated to the entire well-being of their staff, parents and students. Tara O’Brien is a rare gem in this system. I consider myself very lucky to have worked for her and learned so much from her. Close Quote

The administrative team is committed to making lasting change at 207, to improving students' performance outcomes to meeting the students where they are to ensuring students are cared for to making sure that students are seen, that their social needs are developed and to building students' foundational literacy skills, while developing the professional practice of teachers. Led by principal Tara O'Brien, the admin team is focused on empowering teachers with the skills they need to meet the needs of all learners. They are dedicated to developing students' foundational skills, paying particular attention to writing, so that students are ready to navigate more complex texts and to write with more clarity, substance, detail and sophistication, so that students are ready and able to transition to middle school. In addition, the school is focused on meeting students' social, emotional needs and to making learning relevant, connecting topics to students' lives and to the world around them today. Close Quote

I have been a teacher in the community for well over 10 years. Most of my experience has been with 207's students once they left PS 207 at the end of 2nd grade. Since Ms. O'Brien's administration began I started to notice a shift in the attitude and behavior of students. This year I had the pleasure of joining the PS 207 staff and can say in all honesty that students truly love coming into our building. Throughout the year we focus on building their social emotional learning as well as the academic learning. ROCKS values (Respect, Organization, Cooperation, Kindness and Safety) are reinforced throughout everything we do and children have embraced these values in their lives. Close Quote
