Linden Academy (ALC)

30-48 LINDEN PLACE

At a Glance

A district 25 transfer school serving grades 6-12, where academic performance data remains limited but class sizes align with district averages

Best suited for

Families considering Linden Academy should be prepared for limited public data on academic outcomes. The school may appeal to families seeking a combined middle/high school setting, those interested in transfer school pathways, or families already connected to the Flushing-Willets Point area who want a local option. However, parents who prioritize transparent academic metrics and strong test score data may find neighboring schools in District 25 offer more documented evidence of performance.

What stands out
  • Serves grades 6-12 in one building — a combined middle/high school model
  • Class sizes match District 25 average (24.7 students)
  • Transfer school model may offer alternative pathways for students who struggled in traditional settings
  • Located in transit-accessible Flushing area with strong ethnic food and cultural resources
Things to consider
  • No academic proficiency data available — cannot compare to district or peer schools
  • No attendance or culture/climate survey data publicly reported
  • Low neighborhood safety score (30) may be a concern for families
  • Very low percentage of households with children (14%) suggests limited built-in playground and family infrastructure
  • Transfer school model may serve students with specific needs — families should inquire about placement criteria

School SummaryDistrict 25

Among District 25 peer schools, Linden Academy does not appear in the available data alongside strong performers like The Active Learning Elementary School (92/100) and P.S. 079 Francis Lewis (90/100). The lack of academic data makes positioning difficult, but families should note that nearby schools like BELL Academy (81/100) and P.S. 242 Leonard P. Stavisky (80/100) have established track records.

AcademicsLimited data

Academic performance data for Linden Academy is not publicly available in the dataset, which means we cannot compare its ELA and math proficiency rates against District 25's averages of 65% and 70% respectively. This data gap is significant for families evaluating academic options — the school may have assessment data available through other channels, but it's not reflected in standard district comparisons.

Culturemoderate

Culture and climate survey data is not available for this school. District 25 averages show parent satisfaction at 94%, teacher-reported safety at 97%, and teacher instruction quality at 90%, but we cannot say how Linden Academy compares on these measures. The district's overall suspension rate averages just 0.25%, indicating a relatively low-discipline environment across District 25 schools.

Community

Community demographic data specific to Linden Academy is not available. The Flushing-Willets Point neighborhood shows a median household income of $50,000 with a 20% poverty rate. Only 14% of households have children, which is notably low — this is a working-age adult dominant area rather than a traditional family neighborhood. About 25% of residents hold bachelor's degrees, and homeownership sits at 25%, reflecting a predominantly rental community.

NeighborhoodFlushing-Willets Point

Flushing-Willets Point is a mixed-use neighborhood in Queens with moderate transit access (score 63) and excellent health environment scores (96), but notably low safety scores (30). The area features industrial and commercial zones alongside residential blocks, with strong Asian cultural institutions and food destinations. Family density is high (82) though actual households with children are relatively few (14%), suggesting many families in the area may be young couples or commuters rather than settled parents with school-age children. The median home value of $468,000 reflects Queens pricing but remains more affordable than Manhattan or Brooklyn.

The neighborhood has moderate walkability with access to nearby bus routes connecting to the 7 train and Main Street Flushing. Families driving will find street parking available but may contend with commercial traffic in the area.
