School Overview

P.S. 15 Patrick F. Daly, located at 71 Sullivan Street in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a vibrant public elementary school serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade. The school is named in honor of Patrick F. Daly, a former principal who was tragically killed in 1992 while searching for a student who had wandered away from the building. Today, the school maintains a strong sense of community and dedication to the legacy of its namesake, often serving as a focal point for the tight-knit Red Hook neighborhood.

Academically and culturally, P.S. 15 is known for its commitment to inclusive education and its focus on developing the "whole child." The school places a heavy emphasis on social-emotional learning, arts integration, and building strong partnerships with families and local organizations. Because of its location in a historically unique and somewhat isolated part of Brooklyn, the school works closely with community stakeholders to provide enrichment opportunities, aiming to bridge resource gaps and foster a supportive, welcoming environment for a diverse student population.
