Welcome to M.S. 53

At MS 53, we believe every student has the power to grow, achieve, and lead. We are proud to serve our Far Rockaway community by creating a school culture rooted in high expectations, meaningful relationships, and a strong sense of belonging

Our dedicated staff works each day to support students academically, socially, and emotionally. Through engaging
instruction, enrichment opportunities, and a focus on character, we help our scholars develop the skills they need to succeed in high school and beyond.

We invite families and community members to partner with us in this important work. Together, we can ensure that every student at MS 53 is seen, supported, and set up for success
