PS 771

PS 771 is a public school that is part of the NYC SPECIAL SCHOOLS - DISTRICT 75 school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 444 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 79 teachers, PS 771 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.

**PS 771**, located at 1075 Oceanview Avenue in the Brighton Beach/Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn, is a specialized District 75 school. District 75 programs in New York City are dedicated to serving students with significant disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum, students with multiple disabilities, and those requiring intensive therapeutic support. The school is designed to provide highly individualized instruction, small class sizes, and a multi-disciplinary approach to education that integrates academic learning with social, emotional, and physical development.

Because PS 771 operates within the District 75 framework, its curriculum is heavily focused on functional skills, communication development, and vocational preparation tailored to each student's specific Individualized Education Program (IEP). The school community emphasizes a supportive, inclusive environment where students receive comprehensive services—such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy—on-site. By prioritizing a collaborative relationship between educators, therapists, and families, the school aims to help students achieve greater independence and build the necessary life skills to succeed both within and beyond the classroom.
