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.

My experience at P.S 161 was overall a great experience because the teachers and faculty were able to give me the necessary tools and guidance needed to accelerate and prosper in my education. As a former student, it was necessary to receive the support I did from my teachers because they are the ones who play a key factor in a child's development. What a child learns in their elementary schooling essentially sets them up with the knowledge that they keep with them for the rest of their lives.
