PS 811 MICKEY MANTLE SCHOOL

PS 811 MICKEY MANTLE SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the NYC SPECIAL SCHOOLS - DISTRICT 75 school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 365 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 70 teachers, PS 811 MICKEY MANTLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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. 811, also known as the Mickey Mantle School, is a specialized District 75 school located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Unlike traditional neighborhood elementary schools, P.S. 811 is dedicated to serving students with a wide range of special needs, including students with autism, intellectual disabilities, and multiple disabilities. The school focuses on creating a supportive, therapeutic environment that prioritizes individualized instruction, life-skills development, and social-emotional growth tailored to the unique learning profiles of its diverse student body.

The school is well-regarded for its collaborative approach, integrating clinical support services—such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy—directly into the educational experience. By maintaining small class sizes and utilizing a multidisciplinary team of educators and specialists, P.S. 811 works to foster independence and prepare its students for transitions into adulthood and community participation. Its location on West End Avenue places it within a vibrant community, allowing the school to leverage city resources while providing a structured, nurturing setting for students who require intensive educational intervention.
