I.S. 229 Roland Patterson

The Dr. Roland Patterson School (09x229) is located next to the Roberto Clemente State Park, on the banks of the Harlem River. With a student : teacher ratio of less than 1 : 10, our school takes pride in knowing and caring for the social and emotional needs of every student. This is the hallmark of 229 -- that every student has an adult in the school building who is their champion, who looks out for their emotional and academic well-being every single day. Our new Response to Intervention Program guarantees that every day students get what they need in order to advance academically. We are proud to provide classes to students who are in the autistic spectrum. With two classes serving sixteen students, the Horizons program meets the special needs of this community. Our intensive approach to education features many classes where two adults are present to support instruction and supervise small-group work. 229 just invested in serious educational technology: every classroom has a new SmartBoard and a document projector. Every student is assigned a laptop, and GoogleClassroom is used in many classes.
