More On PS 13

2000 kids! Very few NYC schools house that many and PS13 was a relatively small building. PS79 is still standing,
I don't know what it is used for. It is on E1rst, between 1rst and 2nd Avenues. It is hard to keep track of the old NYC schools.
There would be a boys' division, girls' division, and in some cases a separate primary school.
