At a Glance

An evening high school serving adult learners and working students across middle and high school grades in Queens

Best suited for

Families with teens or young adults who need to work during the day and cannot attend traditional daytime high school; adult learners pursuing their GED or high school diploma; students who thrive in smaller, more independent learning environments with flexible scheduling. This is not a neighborhood zoned school — families actively choose this program for its evening hours.

  • Zero suspensions reported — a notably clean disciplinary record

  • Serves adult learners and non-traditional high school students
Things to consider
  • No academic performance data (ELA/Math proficiency) available for this school
  • Evening schedule may not work for all families — requires significant schedule adjustment
  • Low transit accessibility means transportation logistics are a key consideration
  • Peer school comparisons show this school is not ranked among top performers in District 28
  • Not a traditional school setting — best suited for students who need flexible hours

Based on 2024 data

School SummaryDistrict 28

This school does not appear in the peer rankings for District 28, which include highly-rated schools like P.S. 196 Grand Central Parkway (97/100) and The Academy for Excellence through the Arts (95/100). Jamaica Evening High School serves a fundamentally different population and mission than traditional daytime schools, so direct comparisons are difficult. The district's top schools all score in the 83-97 range, placing them among Queens' best.

AcademicsSteady

Academic performance data is not available for this school. Without ELA and Math proficiency scores, it's difficult to benchmark this school's academic outcomes against the district average of 63% in both subjects. Parents should inquire directly about graduation rates, credit accumulation, and college readiness indicators specific to evening programs.

Culturemoderate

This school reports zero suspensions, which is notably lower than the district average of 0.37%. Teacher-reported safety sits at 93%, matching the district average, and teacher instruction quality is similarly aligned at 92%. With no disciplinary incidents on record, the environment appears focused on instruction rather than enforcement. The evening schedule likely creates a different culture than traditional daytime schools — students are there by choice, often balancing work, which can foster maturity and purpose.

Community

This is an alternative high school serving adult learners and teens who need flexible scheduling. The neighborhood around Gothic Drive is predominantly working-age adults, with only 23% of households having children — much lower than typical family neighborhoods. The student body likely reflects a diverse mix of learners pursuing education while managing work, family, or other responsibilities during daytime hours.

NeighborhoodJamaica Hills-Briarwood

Jamaica Hills-Briarwood is a Queens neighborhood with a median home value of $612,000 and a median household income of $84,000 — above city averages. About 44% of residents have bachelor's degrees or higher, and homeownership rates sit at 40%. Safety scores are moderate (47 out of 100), and transit accessibility is lower (28 out of 100), meaning most families would likely drive or get dropped off. The neighborhood has decent access to parks and health resources, though the family density is relatively low at 47%.

With a transit score of only 28, this area is not particularly walkable or well-served by public transit. Most families would need to arrange transportation, whether by car or school bus service.
