Can anyone give us informations on the schools in williamsburg brooklyn. We are interested in both pre K and ellementary schools and wanted if the schools were comparable to the better public schools in the city. Thank you
i know nothing about Williamsburg, but i've always thought this pre-k list was useful, at least as a start:

looks like they list two pre-k programs in williamsburg. that's all i got. sorry. good luck.
thank you for your help.
From some other posts:
the elementary school options in district 14 are very good - 132, 31, 34 and there's a new private school, Williamsburg Northside and a new charter, Teccs. Apparently, MS577 is good as well.

having moved from Park Slope to Williamsburg, I can tell you that convenience to the city is way better here, and the parents community is about 10 million times better and more supportive. PS 132, 84, 34, and 31 all worth looking at. 84 is going through big wonderful, positive changes and they have once of the best pre-k programs in the entire city - they also offer dual language classes for K and up.
in general, north williamsburg and greenpoint have way better schools than south park slope. have a friend who describes her kid's school in the south slope as totally ghetto.
also, williamsburg northside (private school) has extended their successful infant and pre-school program into a elementary school as well. other preschools include WNNS, MiEscuelita, ABC daycare, Montessori on Olive, and the Greenpoint Y (excellent for 3's and 4's). There's a brand new charter, T.E.C.C.S and another, Beginnings.
