M.S. 51 William Alexander School 350 Fifth Avenue BROOKLYN, NY 11215 Phone: (718) 369-7603 | Fax: (718) 499-4948 Principal: Xavier Castelli Parent Coordinator: Audrey Komaroff (347) 563-5371

At a Glance Grade levels: 6 to 8 Class size: 28 Enrollment: 973 Ethnicity %: 42 W 17 B 31 H 11 A Attendance: 96% Reading scores: Math scores: Region 8 / District 15 Neighborhood: Park Slope

Admissions: selective/audition/portfolio

What's special: High-scoring kids and popular talent programs, including a renowned chorus and drama department. Downside: Some complain that the math program doesn't prepare kids for specialized high school exams.

MS 51 is a selective school that accepts high-achieving children from across District 15. Long the highest scoring middle school in the district, MS 51 is known for its solid academics as well as its creative "talent" programs in drama and the arts.

In other words , we are an elitist school preparing children for nothing.
