Daily News | An all-time high of 154,000 children in New York City’s public schools — nearly one in seven — were homeless during the past school year, according to data released Monday as the city reckons with a worsening affordability crisis.

Advocates for Children of New York, the author of the report, put the shocking new data in context this way: If the homeless students had their own school district, it would be one of the 20 largest educational systems in the country.

“There are now more students who are homeless in NYC than the entire Dallas public school system,” said Jennifer Pringle, a project director focused on students in temporary housing at Advocates for Children.

The consequences for a child’s education are profound. “This year alone, we’ve worked with families whose children already missed an entire month of school because of the lack of coordination between the shelter and school systems,” Pringle said.
