OF OTHER NYC SCHOOLS

WHY:  PS 87 joins other public schools in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan's District 2 in expressing  extreme dissatisfaction with this year's New York State English Language Arts exam.

The effect on our children this year both in and out of school has been worse than ever before.
