Located in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant the largest African-American community in Brooklyn, MS 143 is one of two Middle Schools housed in the same building. MS 143 occupies the first two floors of 800 Gates Avenue. Although the area is in flux, the school's population is predominantly African American with less then 5% of the student population comprised of other ethnicities. Building a positive atmosphere for students and staff are one of the major goals of MS 143.
