I attended PS 182 for Kindergarten in 1957. We lived across
the street from it on Dumont Ave. My cousin, Helaine Donner,
walked me to school. She was a 3rd grader.

Does this school still exist? The only PS 182 I found on the
Internet was in the Bronx.

I believe the PS 182 in Brooklyn closed several years ago. 
I attended kindergarten there in 1961 - we lived on Miller
Ave between Livonia and Dumont.  My mother taught at nearby
PS 190 until 1990, when she retired.

I also attended PS 182 on Dumont from K thru part of 6, 1948
- 1954, then moved out to the country (Queens). And I also
lived on Miller, between Livonia and Riverdale. I was born
in that little institution in the triangle bordered by
Riverdale, Bradford and New Lotts. I was graduated from
Stuyvesant HS (the old one on 15th street) in 1960. During
the early 90's, I parked by the school which was already
boarded up and asked some locals when it closed. Best I
could get was 'a long time ago'. I'd love to get my hands on
one of those incredibly elaborate doorknobs, engraved with
'NYC Board of Education'.  Remember? In today's dollars,
they probably cost about $50 a piece to manufacture.

If you want ot find a specific public school in NYC, you must put in a letter
after the number: PS 182K (for Kings county), Ps 182Bx would be the Bronx, Q
Queens, etc. 
Last I heard, PS 182K had been converted to condominiums. It can be viewed on
Google Earth.
