PS 144

PS 144, often referring to Public School 144, is a common designation for public elementary schools within the New York City Department of Education system. The "PS" indicates Public School, and the number "144" serves as a unique identifier within the borough where the school is located. Multiple PS 144 schools may exist across the city's five boroughs, each distinguished by its borough designation (e.g., PS 144 in Queens, PS 144 in Brooklyn).

Each individual PS 144 operates under the policies and curriculum guidelines set by the New York City Department of Education. Specific information regarding a particular PS 144, such as its full name (often including a neighborhood name), address, principal, student population, and specific programs, can be found on the Department of Education website or through direct contact with the school itself. Because the designation is not unique city-wide, context is crucial when referencing "PS 144" to ensure clarity regarding which school is being discussed. These schools provide education for students in elementary grades, typically ranging from kindergarten or pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
