Mission Statement:
Public school 59 is committed to creating a legacy of academic excellence, for each and every student. We seek to develop individuals who can not merely be defined by standards, but can set them as well. Our goal is for each student's social and intellectual growth to be exceeded only by their humanity. We instill in them the knowledge that we are interdependent members of the global community and have an obligation to make a contribution of substance. We show evidence of this commitment through our valued ongoing partnerships with parents and community-based organizations. We model this commitment by making this a place where teaching and learning is honored every day.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Our role as educators is to create an environment rich with opportunities for learning to occur. Facilitating that process requires more than teaching it requires a green thumb for fertile minds.
Enrollment Characteristics: African Americans, Hispanics, and Chinese.
School History:
Public School 59 was built in 1955 after replacing a long standing elementary school. The school was named after William Floyd a delegate from New York in the First Continental Congress from 1774 to 1776.

It services the children and families from three different housing developments as well as surrounding private homes
