Portfolio and Planning

All students in New York City deserve a high quality education. The Department of Education is committed to improving opportunities for students by creating schools and programs that meet community needs.  

Changes to Our Schools

In order to understand where and how we can improve schools, we consider school performance data and community needs. We meet with families and school staff to gather information to help inform our planning. To learn more about proposed changes to our schools and the planning process, visit the Changes to Our Schools page.

Support and Intervention at Schools

If a school is struggling, we provide support and work to make positive changes. In some cases, if schools are very low performing, more significant action is required, including phasing out some schools and replacing them with new schools. To learn more about our efforts to support and improve schools, visit the Support and Intervention page.
