Is psychology considered a science?

I’m in IB Psychology and I’m applying to MIT. One thing that MIT asks (and also from others schools) is to get a recommendation from one science teacher. So is psychology considered a viable “science” course? I’ve talked to many people (including my counselor and teachers) and got mixed results.

I’m asking because I will be able to get a far better recommendation from my psychology teacher than my IB Biology or AP Physics teacher.

Thanks.
