The Reece School is a non-profit private elementary school for special needs children, ages 5-13, located in New York City. It was charted by the State of New York in 1955 and is presently located next to beautiful and educational Museum Mile in Manhatten (24 east 104th street). The Reece School is governed by a Board of Trustees.

The Reece School accepts applications for admissions throughout the school year as openings occur. Applicants submit current evaluations, progress reports, etc. which are then reviewed by the Executive Director and Clinical and Educational Coordinators. Selected applicants who would fit the Reece School model are invited for a visit consisting of an informal evaluation and a social history.

Prior to placement, each child has been evaluated by the Committee on Special Education of the Department of Education of the City of New York. Reece students possess the cognitive ability to benefit from a rigorous academic school program that follows the New York State Standards within a highly supportive and nurturing learning environment. Children also participate in New York State testing with modifications as listed on each Individual Education Plan (IEP).
