Cornelius Vanderbilt School, located in Staten Island, NY, was a Pre-K to High School institution that closed in 2015 due to poor performance. Despite its challenging surroundings in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Staten Island, the school aimed to provide a nurturing and calm atmosphere for its students. However, it struggled to improve reading and math scores, faced low attendance rates, and had a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The Department of Education phased out PS 14 starting in 2012, transferring younger students to a new elementary school in the same building. Students who entered 3rd grade and higher in 2012 remained until graduation, and the school officially closed in 2015. The closure sparked controversy, with community members and school advocates questioning the decision to close the school only to open another neighborhood school in the same building. Despite its closure, PS 14 had deep roots in the borough, with generations of Staten Islanders attending the school.Generated from the website
