As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 118 students with 24 classroom teachers, which is a student–teacher ratio of 5.6:1.[5]

It was founded in 2013 by Jiang Bairong. Plans were announced to expand the school to 300 students, with $20 million committed to startup costs.[6]

The school has 6.41 acres (2.59 ha) of land. The zoning from the American Boychoir School allowed for a maximum of 82 students, and nearby residents voiced opposition to the school's plans for expansion.[7]

PRISMS is a sister school of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. Students collaborate with their peers in China on research projects.[8][9] The student body at PRISMS is 75% Chinese and is part of a larger influx of Chinese students into American private schools.[10]
