P.S. 35/Manhattan High School

Public high schools in Manhattan shape the rhythm of city blocks long before the first bell. P.S. 35/Manhattan High School anchors the stretch of West 52nd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, where morning sidewalks fill with students and afternoons hum with rehearsals and pickup games.

Classrooms here serve grades nine through twelve in a building that has watched generations of New Yorkers move from algebra to advanced placement. The school sits at 317 W 52nd St, New York, NY 10019—a midblock address that keeps the entrance clear of the busier avenues while still placing it within a short walk of subway lines and bus stops.

Across the five boroughs, high schools often double as community hubs; this one hosts evening events that spill into the surrounding Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. Residents who need to reach the main office can call (212) 247-4307 during school hours for schedules, enrollment details, or general information.
