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.

The school in general is decent, but there is nothing particularly special about it. The safety measures are acceptable; however, there are too many fights during the school year that need to be addressed.

Port Richmond has a close knit community surrounding it. The faculty are top notch and have great resources to boot. However the food sucks which is not insult to the lunch ladies who try their best to make the food good. The sports teams are inclusive and focus on academics first. The music and theater are very well funded and a prominent part of the school and their community. Pretty good school

This school is Staten Island's best kept secret! My daughter is now a sophmore. Teachers & Leadership are fabulous. Staff goes out of the way to help students achieve their academic goals.
