At a Glance
A specialized hospital-based school serving grades 6–12 in one of Queens' wealthiest, most car-dependent neighborhoods
Best suited for
Students whose medical circumstances make hospital-school instruction the right fit, and families who prioritize educational continuity over conventional academic-performance comparisons.
What stands out
- Public hospital-school model — a specialized mission distinct from typical zoned District 24 schools
- Single-campus span across grades 6 through 12, an unusual configuration
- Located in one of Queens' wealthiest, most owner-occupied neighborhoods
- Class size essentially identical to the district average, despite the specialized setting
Things to consider
- Enrollment isn't tied to zoning — eligibility flows from the hospital-school mission, not geography
- No subway access within a 20-minute walk — car or bus commuting is the norm
- Standard academic-proficiency and school-climate metrics aren't reported for this school, so traditional comparisons aren't possible
- Day-to-day attendance and discipline patterns in a hospital-school setting differ from a typical school and warrant direct conversation
Based on 2023-2024 data
School SummaryDistrict 24
District 24's traditional peer set spans roughly 71 to 84 out of 100, led by P.S. 007 Louis F. Simeone and Central Queens Academy Charter School, but Hospital Schools - Queens isn't benchmarked against that group in the same way — it serves a distinct population under a different mission, so the usual ranking reads less cleanly here.
Academics
The one academic structural measure available is class size: 24.5 students on average, essentially identical to the District 24 average of 24.5. That's a neutral signal — students here can expect a classroom environment indistinguishable in size from what their peers experience in traditional District 24 schools. School-level proficiency outcomes aren't included in this dataset, so comparative reading against the district's 51% ELA and 55% Math averages isn't possible from these numbers alone.
Culture
Standard survey, attendance, and discipline figures aren't reported for this school, so the lived feel of a typical day is hard to characterize from the dataset. As a hospital-based setting serving students whose medical circumstances bring them here, the school climate is shaped less by traditional school-survey benchmarks and more by continuity-of-education practices. Families should ask directly about communication routines, family engagement, and how the school handles attendance and discipline in this specialized context.
Community
Student-level demographic data isn't provided, so the school community itself can't be characterized from this dataset. The surrounding neighborhood, though, is strikingly affluent — median household income above $115,000, a poverty rate of just 7.7%, and a homeownership rate over 75%. About 16% of neighborhood households include children, and more than half of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, painting a picture of long-rooted, college-educated families.
Neighborhood
Glen Oaks-Floral Park-New Hyde Park is one of Queens' most suburban-feeling corners, with three-quarters of households owning their homes and median home values around $604,000. Median household income tops $115,000 while the poverty rate sits at just 7.7%, and more than half of adults hold a bachelor's degree. Streets are quiet, turnover is low, and the rhythm is residential rather than bustling — closer to a Nassau County suburb than to a typical NYC neighborhood.
There are no subway stations within a 20-minute walk of the school, so this is firmly a car, school-bus, or local-bus commute rather than a transit-oriented trip. Families should not expect a walk-to-school option.

Its classes run in schools where every student has an IEP, as special classes inside District 1–32 schools, in general education classrooms, and in agencies, hospitals and at home. The IEP team, which includes you, recommends the program and class size.
