Summary

Ps 166 Richard Rogers School Of The Arts & Science (The) is an exceptional elementary school in New York City's District #3, serving 600 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in New York state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Ps 166 Richard Rogers School consistently outperforms the New York City District #3 and the state of New York in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 91.18% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 70.45% for District #3 and 54.15% for the state. Similarly, 96.23% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 73.41% for District #3 and 59.7% for the state. The school also excels in supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking among the top schools in the state for Asian, African American, and White students.

While Ps 166 Richard Rogers School outperforms the nearby public schools in academic achievement, there are some notable exceptions, such as the Anderson School (The), which also ranks among the top elementary schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, which likely contribute to its academic success. However, the school's demographic composition, with a low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, raises questions about equity and access to high-performing schools for students from lower-income families.
