Less than half show up for school day after snowstorm

It was a tale of two cities — half the kids went to school and the other half didn’t.

Only 47 percent of students attended school Wednesday, according to data compiled by the Department of Education.

While most of the city’s private schools called off classes, many public-school teachers skipped work, leaving students in the lurch.

At JHS 194, William H. Carr in Queens, classes were combined because 30 teachers couldn’t get there, a school source said. And only about 450 of nearly 1,100 students showed up.

Three parents pushed a Mercedes out of the unplowed parking lot at the school at 8 a.m. when the car got stuck in mid-drop off.

Three of the four roads surrounding the school were not plowed and the sidewalks were not shoveled by the morning bell.

JHS 190 Russell Sage student Student Jasmine Zhao, 12, said her seventh-grade class watched movies in home room the entire school day.

“We normally move around and go from class to class, but the whole seventh grade watched ‘Despicable Me’ together,” she told The Post. “The only other time we left home room was for lunch in the cafeteria.”

Parents and teachers blasted Mayor de Blasio and newly minted Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña for ordering them to trek to school despite the treacherous conditions on the city’s roads.

Rick Lopez, whose daughter attends at the Young Women’s Leadership School in Astoria, said there were no passes for late students.

“Are you kidding me? The kids that showed up to school today one minute after the bell, are being marked late?” he wrote.
