I am a teacher at Transit Tech. The information that I see on this page is quite dated. Our statistics have increased across the board. Low enrollment is a city-wide problem, not just at Transit. Low enrollment is due to gentrification, increase in charter schools and ICE. I am glad that the school has not shut down but more excited by the fact that some unproductive staff members have moved on (what a blessing). I am proud to see our recent graduates (16 to be exact) obtain employment at the MTA after successfully completing their apprenticeship program. I am also glad to see that our students are matriculating at Tier one colleges and universities, such as New York University School of Tandon School of Engineering, Penn State, etc., as opposed to SUNY and CUNY schools. In addition, one or our students gained acceptance into military academies, such as United States Military Academy at West Point. These achievements actually took place within the past two years so go figure. It is also a good thing that our goal is to promote careers in STEM and is not designed to just gear students to work at MTA although it is a wonderful opportunity. Change is not an event, it is a process. WE also have an amazing college and career office to support all students in achieving their goals subsequent to graduating, including our special education population, who have also obtained employment at the MTA. Let's keep up the good work at Transit! Please visit us at www.transittechhs.org.

On September 30th of 2025, my son was placed in restraints with his hands behind his back by the security at ps 224. I was told that my son was displaying behavioral issues that is why the restraints were needed. My son has never had any behavioral issues at all until he got to ps 224. It is so bad until the point where my son does not want to go back to school. The staff at the school kept telling me that my son was banging his head and throwing objects across the floor he has never displayed any of this behavior until he got to ps 224 and he has only been in the school less than a month. The staff is very disrespectful and they are not capable of handling certain situations when it comes to a student showing this type of action. My son is only 7 years old and he is very traumatized about what happened to him at ps 224.

This is the best school for your kids
