PS 2

PS 2 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the TROY CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in TROY, NY with about 285 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 33 teachers, PS 2 has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

PS 2, located at 470 10th Street in Troy, New York, is a public elementary school serving the Troy City School District. As a neighborhood-focused institution, the school is dedicated to providing a foundational education for students in the local community. It operates as part of a district-wide effort to foster academic growth, social development, and a supportive learning environment for young learners.

The school emphasizes a curriculum aligned with state standards, focusing on core academic subjects while also integrating social-emotional learning to help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom. By leveraging the resources of the Troy City School District, PS 2 works to bridge the gap between home and school, encouraging parental involvement and community engagement to ensure every student has the tools necessary to progress toward middle school and beyond.
