Info

PS 321 (also known as the William Penn School) is an elementary school in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York. It houses 1,267 students (as of 2006–2007 school year) in Pre-K to 5th Grade. It is a member of New York City School District 15, Region 8.
PS 321 is one of 185 NYC public elementary schools to have been permitted to retain its curriculum (Empowerment Schools), while most other schools have been forced to adopt a standardized curriculum. PS 321 places a great emphasis on writing, hosting "Publishing Parties" for parents and encouraging revision.
Partially due to its high NYC standardized test scores, PS 321 has become a very popular school. It has become overcrowded, and in most cases will not admit students from outside its zoned area.
