College Point Collaborative

Test scores at College Point Collaborative are below the District 25 average — ELA proficiency at 41.9% versus the district's 64.9%, and math at 35.6% versus 69.6%. Looking at the trajectory, scores peaked in 2022 (ELA 56.5%, Math 30.4%) but have since declined, with 2025 showing a slight rebound in math while ELA dropped. Grade-level data shows Grade 6 students performing significantly lower than older grades (ELA 30.5%, Math 26.7%), suggesting incoming students may be arriving with less preparation or the school struggles most with its youngest learners. Science proficiency at 19.3% is notably low.

Here's what stands out: families report extremely high trust — 96% parent-teacher trust and 97% parent-principal trust, with 93% parent satisfaction. Teachers rate their own instruction quality at 90%, which is actually slightly above the district average. However, teacher-principal trust sits at 79%, notably lower than family trust in leadership. The chronic absenteeism rate of 68.3% is a major concern — that's a lot of missing instructional time, particularly striking among Asian students (89.3% chronic absenteeism). Attendance overall is 91.7% versus the district average of 94%. Suspensions are low at 1% (3 students), down from 6 in 2022-23, suggesting improving discipline practices.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic (71%), with 14% Asian, 13% White, and 2% Black. About 19% of students have IEPs, and 62.8% qualify for economic need programs — higher than many District 25 schools but reflective of the working-class character of College Point. The diversity index is 48%, and average class size is 24.7, matching the district average exactly.

College Point is a quieter, residential section of Queens with single-family homes, a 53% homeownership rate, and a median home value of $855,000. It's not particularly walkable or transit-rich (transit score only 28), so most families drive or get dropped off. The neighborhood scores 70 for safety, which is moderate, and 76 for health environment. There are parks and some local retail, but it's not a hub — it's a place where families live and commute elsewhere.

This is a car-dependent neighborhood. With a transit score of just 28, most families drive or get dropped off. The school isn't near a major subway line, so longer commutes are likely for families without vehicles.
