Coming from a different state, I was welcomed at RRG with open arms. The kids are very accepting and understanding, lots of diversity! Faculty is passionate and truly wants every child to succeed. Some of the best teachers i have ever had in my life, i have met at RRG. The classes are organized in a way that is beneficial for passing the Regents exams, and getting into a good college. RRG made the best that they could do with their current income, and has provided lower Manhattan with an outstanding school. I would 100% send my children to RRG, and would even consider working there. You will feel safe, accepted, and will thrive at RRG.

This school is nothing like what you see when you first walk in . You would think because this school is located next door to Wall Street & across from The Staten Island ferry that this is a rather decent school, Sadly that is not the case . The low budget school of Richard R. Green is a very poorly ran unstable high school . There are occasional brawls every year in and outside of the school. There are no after school programs , limited senior benefits & poor teaching .
The kids are handled by 1 dean the majority of the time , the dean ( Peter Tames ) is not a person you would like to be around your children or just in general. As for the other teachers they struggle to maintain . There is only 1 teacher available for every subject making it hard for students with issues within the classroom to have options .
I do not recommend this high school to anyone . Consider attending this school as a last resort .
