What Parents Should Know

At 7.9:1 students to teachers, PS 132 Juan Pablo Duarte sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

35% of students at PS 132 Juan Pablo Duarte were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
