South Richmond High School I.S./P.S. 25

PS 25 is an orderly school where the leadership is liked, surveys say.

The school, which serves over 600 Kindergarten through 12th graders, is located in 23 sites across Staten Island. The attendance rate for the 2015-2016 school year was 77.3 percent, according to the Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP). Also key to note is that the quality of teaching at the school is good, based on the 2015 Quality Review.

We read in the CEP that PS 25 has partnerships with District 31 general education schools and that they are currently in the process of trying to collaborate with local politicians to receive more funding to the create new academic programs.
