"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - As 2025 comes to a close, more school seats are on the way on Staten Island in coming years. New York City is working to tackle overcrowding and reduce class sizes amid a growing student population, and to meet class size requirements under state law. This means new schools are being constructed throughout the borough, while other seats may be acquired by leasing or buying and renovating space."
"A new annex building will add more seats to PS 13 in Rosebank. As of this summer, the New York City School Construction Authority completed demolition of the former St. Mary's School, located at 1 Virginia Ave., to create the annex. The new building, which will offer 283 seats for early childhood education, is slated to open in September 2027. It is expected to serve students in pre-K through second grade."
"Thousands of school seats are on the way as the city builds a brand-new educational complex at the former St. John Villa school campus in Arrochar. On behalf of the city Department of Education, the New York City School Construction Authority is creating three new school facilities, an athletic field with an approximately 700-seat bleacher section, a maintenance building, and an internal driveway network with two parking lots at 57 Cleveland Place."
