ATLAS

Academic proficiency data was not provided for this school. However, the school offers AP Courses and Humanities through a screened admissions process, suggesting an academic orientation. The district averages 60.67% in ELA and 62.15% in Math, placing this school in a district that performs slightly above citywide averages.

The school culture stands out for its strong family trust metrics: 95% of parents trust the principal and 94% trust teachers, both above the district average of 93% parent satisfaction. Teacher-reported instruction quality is 89%, slightly below the district average of 91%. Teacher-principal trust runs lower at 78%, which parents may not directly observe but can affect day-to-day consistency. The school reports zero suspensions, meaningfully below the district average of 0.275% — a rare data point suggesting either very effective behavior management or a particularly non-punitive approach to discipline.

ATLAS serves 821 students in a building where 82% of students identify as Hispanic, reflecting the neighborhood's demographics. Asian students make up 10%, white students 5%, Black students 2%, and Native American students 1%. The diversity index of 38% is moderate. Notably, only 2% of students have IEPs — one of the lowest percentages in the district — suggesting this screened school may draw students with fewer identified special needs, or that the admissions process selects for academic readiness.

The school sits in Queensbridge-Ravenswood-Dutch Kills, a neighborhood with a median home value of $841,040 and a homeownership rate of just 16.4%, indicating a largely renter-occupied area. The poverty rate is 19.4%, and only 39.1% of residents have a bachelor's degree or higher. The neighborhood scores poorly on safety (36th percentile) with a high crime density, though transit access is moderate (57th percentile) and family density is relatively high (62nd percentile). Families should know this is a high-density urban environment with typical city noise and foot traffic.

The neighborhood has moderate transit access. Families typically walk or take public transit; street parking around the school is limited, consistent with the area's low homeownership rate and dense urban character.
