Who makes decisions for Lafayette Academy?

A District 3 public middle school

Lafayette Academy is a grades 6-8 school in New York City Geographic District 3. The school works with its School Leadership Team, while district and city leaders make broader school-system decisions.

A school team helps shape school policy

The school says its School Leadership Team develops educational policies and helps make sure resources support them.

District 3 also shapes the school

District 3 staff joined a Lafayette Academy School Leadership Team meeting about a building proposal in December 2025.

The school shares Building M118

Lafayette Academy shares its West 93rd Street building with other public schools. A city proposal says the building may change as another school gradually ends its middle grades.

The collected proposal describes a possible change. It does not prove that the Panel for Educational Policy approved it.
