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.

P.S. 233 has great parent involvement which is extremely vital to the success of the students and the community. The arts education is a profound development within the school which gives students and outlet and allows students to learn about the arts. I would like to see more extracurricular activities. The school has a very welcoming environment.
