A School-Sized Challenge
Let's get one thing straight: Trying to count the number of public schools in NYC is like trying to count the number of pigeons in Central Park. It's a daunting task, and frankly, who has time for that? But fear not, intrepid explorer of educational statistics, I've done the dirty work for you.

Drumroll, please...
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
There are over 1,800 public schools in NYC. That's more schools than there are pizza places (probably). It's like the entire city is one giant campus, and every kid is a student. Can you imagine the field trips?
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
More Schools Than You Can Shake a Pencil At
But wait, there's more! We're talking about NYC, the city that never sleeps, so of course, there are different types of schools too. We've got elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and even specialized schools for the arts, science, and technology. It's like a real-life Hogwarts, but without the magic wands (unless you count graphing calculators as magic).
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
