At a Glance
A District 75 inclusion school serving students with disabilities from pre-K through age 21 in central Bed-Stuy
Best suited for
Families whose child has been classified for a District 75 program and is looking for a single PK-12+ school community in central Brooklyn with strong parent-leader relationships, no reliance on suspension, and a small-enrollment setting.
What stands out
- PK-12+ span under one roof, allowing students with disabilities to stay in the same school community as they age up
- Zero suspensions across the entire student body, indicating strong behavior support without exclusionary discipline
- 97% parent-principal trust, which matters when families are navigating complex IEP conversations
- Small enrollment of 232 students with class sizes near the district average, allowing for individualized attention
- District 75 designation with 91% of students having IEPs — the school is purpose-built for this population
Things to consider
- This is a District 75 special education school, not a general zoned school — eligibility is determined by the IEP process, not by address
- Academic proficiency on state tests is not the right metric to evaluate here; families should review the school's most recent annual IEP and transition reports
- Teacher collegial trust at 75% is the lowest climate metric and may signal staff-level dynamics worth asking about
- Family survey response rate was only 17%, so even the strong satisfaction numbers reflect a relatively small number of voices
- The high economic need index (94.9) means the school serves families under significant financial strain
Based on 2025 data
School SummaryDistrict 14
P.S. 368 shares District 14 with several highly-rated charters like Success Academy - Bed Stuy 1 (97/100) and PS 34 (91/100), but those comparisons aren't quite apples-to-apples. As a District 75 school, P.S. 368 serves a fundamentally different student population and shouldn't be judged against neighborhood zoned schools on the same yardstick. Its parent satisfaction of 88% sits below the district average of 94%, and teacher-rated instruction quality of 85% trails the district's 93% — both worth probing but not necessarily a red flag given the small response pool.
Academics
State ELA and math proficiency scores aren't reported for this school in the typical way, which is common for District 75 settings where standardized testing doesn't capture the individualized goals each student is working toward. What stands out instead is the academic structure: a small enrollment of 232 spread across more than a dozen grade bands, with an average class size of 21.6 — comparable to the district average of 21.6. For families evaluating this school, the academic conversation is less about proficiency rates and more about whether the IEP services, related supports, and transition programming match their child's profile.
Culture
The climate numbers tell a story of a school where adults are aligned and kids feel safe. Teacher-reported safety is 97% — essentially at the district average of 96.8% — and 96% of parents trust their child's teacher. The standout figure is zero suspensions across the entire student body, against a district average suspension rate of 0.56%. For a school serving 91% students with IEPs, that's a meaningful marker that behavior is being handled without exclusionary discipline. Teacher collegial trust is the softest number at 75%, suggesting some friction among staff even as the parent-facing relationships stay strong. Attendance data wasn't reported in the available figures.
Community
The student body is 52% Black and 33% Hispanic, with smaller shares of White (10%), Asian (4%), and multi-racial students — broadly reflecting the surrounding Bed-Stuy census profile, where the broader population is also majority Black and Hispanic. The diversity index sits at 62%. Notably, 94.9% of students qualify for the economic need index, far above citywide averages, meaning almost every family here is navigating financial pressure alongside the work of supporting a child with a disability.
Neighborhood
Bedford-Stuyvesant (West) is a neighborhood where the median household income is around $77,685 and roughly 28% of households live below the poverty line. About 15.7% of households have children, and just under half of adults 25 and older hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Homeownership is low at 20.4%, and median home values run around $1.27 million — reflecting a neighborhood where owners and renters, long-time residents and newcomers, share the blocks. P.S. 368 sits in the middle of that mix.
Families can reach the school via the G train at Myrtle-Willoughby Avs (about a 4-minute walk) or Flushing Av (about 6 minutes), with the M train also accessible at Flushing Av. The M and J lines at Lorimer St are about a 10-minute walk away.

In the DOE's words, it provides “highly specialized instructional support” for students with challenges such as autism, significant cognitive delays, emotional disabilities, sensory impairments and multiple disabilities.
Its classes run in schools where every student has an IEP, as special classes inside District 1–32 schools, in general education classrooms, and in agencies, hospitals and at home. The IEP team, which includes you, recommends the program and class size.
