P.S. 183 Dr. Richard R. Green

P.S. 183 Dr. Richard R. Green serves students from 3K through 8th grade in Queens, emphasizing values like Honesty, Understanding, Self-Control, Kindness, and Leadership, represented by its H.U.S.K.Y. mascot. The school focuses on literacy with the HMH Into Reading program and math with Math EnVisions 2.0, and offers a Gifted & Talented curriculum for grades 3-5. Teachers are trained in LETRS certification, and the school utilizes Thinking Maps to enhance student learning. While the school provides modern technology like iPads and Chromebooks and offers after-school programs through community partnerships, academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is well below citywide averages. Parent sentiment is mixed; some praise the school as a strong K-8 option in the Rockaways and appreciate staff commitment, but others express significant concerns about student behavior, bullying, and a perceived lack of discipline, leading some to not recommend the school. Student surveys also indicate low favorability regarding school cleanliness, fair conflict resolution, and the prevalence of bullying.
