New Schools for
Sunset Park, now!
What is overcrowding?
Why are
schools
overcrowded?
When a school has more
students than it was designed
to accommodate, we say that
it is overcrowded.
Most schools
in NYC accept students
living in a given area.
When the population grows,
but no schools are built,
schools in the area have to
accept more children.
In Sunset Park,
the population
has grown.
However,
schools have not
been built at
the same
pace (1)
