Summary

PS 183 Robert L Stevenson is an exceptional elementary school located in New York City's District 2, serving grades PK-12 with an enrollment of 534 students. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in New York state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 183 significantly outperforms the New York City District 2 average and the statewide average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, over 90% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scored proficient or better on the ELA assessments, compared to around 80% for District 2 and only 55% statewide. The school also excels across all student subgroups, ranking among the top schools in New York for diverse populations. Additionally, PS 183 spends significantly more per student than the district and state averages, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance.

While PS 183 outperforms nearby schools in District 2, such as PS 59 Beekman Hill International and PS 158 Bayard Taylor, the performance gap is not as large as the difference between PS 183 and the district/state averages. This suggests that the nearby schools are also strong performers, though not quite at the same level as PS 183. Overall, PS 183 Robert L Stevenson is an exceptional elementary school that consistently delivers outstanding academic results for its students.
