PS 15 PATRICK F DALY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #15 school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 487 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 46 teachers, PS 15 PATRICK F DALY 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.

P.S. 15 Patrick F. Daly, located at 71 Sullivan Street in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a vibrant public elementary school serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade. The school is named in honor of Patrick F. Daly, a former principal who was tragically killed in 1992 while searching for a student who had wandered away from the building. Today, the school maintains a strong sense of community and dedication to the legacy of its namesake, often serving as a focal point for the tight-knit Red Hook neighborhood.

Academically and culturally, P.S. 15 is known for its commitment to inclusive education and its focus on developing the "whole child." The school places a heavy emphasis on social-emotional learning, arts integration, and building strong partnerships with families and local organizations. Because of its location in a historically unique and somewhat isolated part of Brooklyn, the school works closely with community stakeholders to provide enrichment opportunities, aiming to bridge resource gaps and foster a supportive, welcoming environment for a diverse student population.
