GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved my time at P.S. 244. All of my teachers were excellent and unforgettable. We always had ample play time outside and when the weather was not so nice, we would watch movies in the auditorium. I was in the spelling bee, participated in acting, when on great field trips around NYC, attended after-school programs. I received a culturally and intellectually-rich education here.
