Richard R Green High School of Teaching, New York NY

Original Research by School Decision on Richard R Green High School of Teaching

Richard R Green High School of Teaching is a small public high school in lower Manhattan, housed at the address 7 Beaver Street in the Financial District. The school enrolls students in grades nine through twelve and serves a student population that is economically diverse and multiethnic.

The enrollment skews toward Hispanic students, who represent the largest single group. Black, white, and Asian students each comprise substantial portions of the student body. A majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic circumstances of many families the school serves. The school does not report data on English learners or students with Individualized Education Plans, and state testing results and graduation rates are not available in the data provided.

The school is embedded in lower Manhattan's dense, mixed-use urban fabric. The Financial District is characterized by vertical mixing of residential, office, and retail space, high pedestrian and vehicular activity, and the vertical stacking of uses typical of central business districts. Residents and workers have access to the extensive New York City subway system, with multiple transit options connecting to the broader metropolitan area. The neighborhood is heavily walkable; cars are optional for daily life. Housing values in the 10004 zip code are substantially higher than state and national medians, reflecting the area's commercial prominence and limited residential supply. Rental costs have risen over the past year. The regional economy is anchored by finance, professional services, technology, and tourism, with tech—particularly artificial intelligence and machine learning—expanding fastest.

The school's name reflects an educational mission tied to teacher preparation and development, which may indicate a specialized pedagogical focus or partnership with a teacher-training institution, though the available data does not spell out program specifics. The school lists a diverse range of clubs and activities including anime, art, badminton, chess, culinary, fashion, gaming, model UN, performing arts, running, and student council, suggesting opportunities for students to pursue varied interests beyond the classroom.

State assessment data, graduation rates, attendance metrics, and detailed course offerings are not available. A parent considering this school would want to seek out current information on academic performance, college placement, transcript pathways, and any specialized programs or partnerships that define the school's educational model. The location in lower Manhattan means the commute from some outer-borough neighborhoods would require substantial travel time, though students living or working nearby would find the school highly accessible by transit.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
