About Us

We are a school community that shares the common vision that all children are capable of learning at very high levels provided they are given the time and the expert instruction necessary to do so. As such, PS 172 has done a great deal to align the organizational and academic structures in our school to maximize our students' success and to inspire our students to fulfill our school's mission; that is, to acquire and use the knowledge, skills and behaviors necessary to succeed in a culturally diverse and technologically advanced society.
