These are standout numbers — 87.6% ELA and 90.6% math proficiency far exceed the district averages of 75.8% and 80.2%. The school has climbed steadily from 70.6% ELA in 2016 to 87.6% in 2025, with math peaking at 90.6% this year. Science proficiency sits lower at 58.7%, which is worth noting for families prioritizing STEM. The 25.5 average class size matches the district average, but the outcomes are significantly stronger. This isn't a school where kids are merely meeting standards — they're exceeding them.

The survey data tells a remarkable story — 96% parent satisfaction, 98% teacher-rated instruction quality, and nearly across-the-board trust scores in the 90s. The only slightly lower mark is teacher-principal trust at 87%, which is still solid. Zero suspensions in the 2023-24 school year (down from just 1 each in prior years) reflects a disciplinary approach that's working. Families feel heard (97% parent-principal trust) and teachers feel supported in their instruction. This is a school where the culture metrics match the academic ones.

The student body is 57% Asian, 21% White, 14% Hispanic, 5% Black, and 3% multiracial — more diverse than the surrounding neighborhood (which is predominantly White and Asian). The diversity index of 66% reflects this mix. With 12% IEP students and an economic need index of 33.2%, the school serves a range of learners without the high-need concentrations seen in other parts of the city. PTA fundraising of $58 per student is moderate — below the district average of $96, suggesting fewer extras funded by parents but still meaningful community investment.

Douglaston-Little Neck is one of Queens' most family-oriented and stable neighborhoods. The area scores 82 on safety and 89 on education orientation — families here prioritize schools. Transit access is limited (score of 17), so most students commute by car or school bus. There are parks, local shops, and a residential feel that appeals to families wanting a quieter, suburban-adjacent quality of life within the city.

Given the limited transit score, most families drive or arrange carpools. The school sits in a residential area where walking or biking is common for local students, but longer commutes are typical for screened admissions from other parts of the district.
