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've been attending P.S. 24 for about a year now and my experience with them is very good. The teachers are nice, the staff members, and the students are great! There is so much school spirit at P.S. 24 that I get goosebumps at times. It is not a perfect school but it strives in every way to better itself. Proud wise owl! Go owls!
