A Tiny Quaker-Influenced School Where Every Child Is Truly Known
Families seeking an extremely small, personalized learning environment where their child will be known deeply by teachers. Parents who value Quaker principles of equality and community voice. Black families who want their child in a school where they're centered, not one of few. Families who live in or near Rosedale and have transportation — this isn't a school you'd commute far to.
- 7:1 student-teacher ratio — essentially micro-school sized with near-individual attention
- Quaker philosophy emphasizes equality, community voice, and social consciousness
- School serves pre-K through 5th grade under one tiny roof
- Nearly all students are Black, creating a culturally centered environment
- Located on Francis Lewis Boulevard in quiet, residential Rosedale
- Very small enrollment (14 students total) means limited social opportunities and no sports/teams
- Low diversity — if exposure to varied backgrounds matters to you, this won't provide it
- Quaker approach is secular in practice but philosophy-driven — understand what that means to your family
- Car-dependent neighborhood with minimal public transit options
- Safety score of 66 is moderate — this is a working-class to middle-class neighborhood, not the safest or most dangerous
A tiny Quaker-influenced elementary school with just 14 students total — think of it as a micro-school where each child gets near-one-on-one attention. The Quaker philosophy shows up in the emphasis on community decision-making, equality, and social awareness, not necessarily in daily religious instruction.
Nearly 93% of students identify as Black, with the remaining 7% multiracial. This is a predominantly Black student body in a school that emphasizes community and equality — the Quaker values align naturally with creating a space where Black students are centered and supported.
Rosedale sits in the southeastern corner of Queens, a quiet, residential area with single-family homes and tree-lined streets. It's the kind of neighborhood where families know each other and kids ride bikes around the block. The area skews suburban in feel — you're not walking to shops or restaurants from here.
This neighborhood requires a car. With a transit score of just 34, public transportation is limited. You'll be driving your kids to school, and older kids commuting here will need a ride or a long bus trip.
