WHAT IS MY ZONED SCHOOL?
Please check the zone map to the right. Note that only the interior of the periphery of our zone is zoned for PS 290. Your zoned school is determined by your official home address, not your place of employment. If you live outside of the PS 290 zone, you cannot use the address of a family member, friend, or employer who lives in the zone. We verify all addresses.
To confirm your zoned school, use this helpful tool: www.schools.nyc.gov/find-a-school or call 311.
