Richard R. Green High School of Teaching

Richard R. Green High School of Teaching is situated in a historic building in Lower Manhattan, offering views of Bowling Green, Battery Park, and New York Harbor. The school is known for its close-knit and supportive community, where students often feel at home and benefit from individualized attention due to its smaller size. Parents consistently report exceptionally high satisfaction with the school, and students generally feel safe and that conflicts are resolved fairly. The school offers two distinct pathways: a Teaching Academy, which includes offsite internships in local schools for upperclassmen, and a Liberal Arts Academy, which focuses on developing students as mentors and building transferable skills through engaging electives. The school boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate, well above the citywide median. Regents exam pass rates are strong in subjects like English, U.S. History, Global History, Algebra II, Earth & Space Sciences, and Languages Other Than English. However, the school's college enrollment rate is below the citywide median, and Regents pass rates in Geometry and Algebra I are a concern.
