Eagle Academy for Young Men III

Test scores at Eagle Academy III have more than doubled since 2016 — ELA rose from 23.3% to 38.6% and math jumped from 18.6% to 42.1% in 2025. However, both subjects still fall below the district averages of 56.9% (ELA) and 53.7% (math). The 1.61 overall score is well below the district's 2.21 average. Grade 7 stands out as a strength, with 55.6% ELA and 62.7% math proficiency — performing near district levels — while grade 8 math lags at 22.2%. The school offers AP courses, accelerated/honors classes, and humanities tracks, but its program richness score of 57.8/100 suggests limited academic enrichment compared to peers.

The attendance rate of 98.3% is remarkably high compared to the district average of 90.9%, suggesting strong student engagement or effective attendance outreach. The school reports zero suspensions — a notable contrast to the district average of 0.94%. Survey data shows a stark split: parents report 87% satisfaction and 92% trust in teachers, but teachers themselves show low trust in leadership (57% principal trust, 54% collegial trust). Instruction quality is rated 81% by parents, above the 57% teacher trust figure. With only 15 teacher surveys and 81 family surveys responded, these results should be interpreted cautiously.

The student body is 85% Black, 5% Hispanic, 4% Asian, and 1% white, with an economic need index of 65.7% — meaning a majority of students come from families facing economic hardship. Twenty-six percent of students have IEPs. The diversity index of 33% reflects a relatively homogeneous population, which is typical for a single-sex school drawing from a specific neighborhood. PTA fundraising was $14,174 ($33/student), matching the district average per-student amount.

St. Albans is a stable, residential Queens neighborhood with a 74.7% homeownership rate and median household income of $97,911 — well above city averages. Only 9.2% of residents live in poverty. The area scores high on stability (97th percentile) and health environment (85th percentile), with moderate family density. Safety scores are middle-of-the-road (65th percentile), while transit access is limited (39th percentile). The neighborhood's family-oriented character and relative affordability make it popular with parents, though public transportation options are less robust than in denser parts of Queens.

Families typically arrive by car or bus — the neighborhood's lower transit score means most students commute by private vehicle. The area is pedestrian-friendly for drivers dropping off students, with typical Queens residential street patterns.
