PROFESSOR JUAN BOSCH PUBLIC SCHOOL

PROFESSOR JUAN BOSCH PUBLIC SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 6 school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 296 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 28 teachers, PROFESSOR JUAN BOSCH PUBLIC SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Located in the Inwood neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, PROFESSOR JUAN BOSCH PUBLIC SCHOOL (P.S. 278) serves a diverse student population, primarily focusing on early childhood and elementary education. Named after the distinguished Dominican writer and the first democratically elected president of the Dominican Republic, the school reflects the rich cultural heritage of its surrounding community. It is part of the New York City Department of Education’s District 6, which is known for its high concentration of immigrant families and a strong emphasis on bilingual programming and inclusive learning environments.

The school is committed to fostering academic growth through a supportive community atmosphere. As a public institution, it provides a comprehensive curriculum that aims to develop foundational skills in literacy, mathematics, and the arts, while often integrating social-emotional learning to ensure students' well-being. By maintaining close ties to the local Inwood area, the school works to create a collaborative partnership between educators, students, and parents, striving to prepare its young learners for success in middle school and beyond.
