At a Glance
An alternative evening program meeting Monday and Wednesday in South Ozone Park, serving grades 6 through 12.
Best suited for
Older students and teens who need a flexible evening schedule — whether they're working, caring for family, or catching up on credits — and who can stay disciplined across two focused classroom sessions a week.
What stands out
- Twice-weekly evening schedule (Monday and Wednesday) — built around flexibility for students who work or have daytime obligations
- Zero suspensions recorded, below the district's already-low 0.5% rate
- Unusually wide grade span — 6 through 12 housed at a single site
- Right on the A line, with three stations within a ten-minute walk
Things to consider
- This is an alternative program, not a traditional day school — confirm the twice-weekly format suits your teen's learning needs
- The M/W schedule means most of the school week happens outside the building; self-direction and home structure matter
- The Rockaway Boulevard site is shared with another school, which is typical for evening and alternative programs but worth knowing in advance
- Two classroom sessions a week limits in-person scaffolding, so students who need more daily contact with teachers may find it a stretch
Based on 2023-24 data
School SummaryDistrict 27
District 27's standout schools are charter and elementary programs — Success Academy South Jamaica at 96/100, Peninsula Prep at 94/100, P.S. 66 at 90/100 — so this evening program serves a distinct niche rather than competing with those peers on the same metrics.
Academics
The twice-weekly evening model means this program operates outside the standard state proficiency frame, so benchmark comparisons to traditional schools are limited. What can be read from the data: classes average 23.4 students — identical to the district average — keeping peer-group sizing on par with a typical classroom even as instruction is concentrated into two evenings a week.
Culture
Zero suspensions were recorded across the program — below the district's already-low 0.5% rate — and the small alternative-program footprint with classes twice a week naturally lends itself to a tighter, more contained setting than a sprawling day school. Attendance and parent-survey data weren't included, consistent with the program's non-traditional structure.
Community
The school sits in South Ozone Park, a middle-income neighborhood where about 69% of residents own their homes, roughly one in five households includes children, and one in five adults holds a bachelor's degree or higher — a stable, working- and middle-class community anchored by longtime homeowners.
Neighborhood
South Ozone Park is a middle-income Queens neighborhood where most residents own their homes and the typical household earns around $98,000 a year — solidly middle-class ground, with a poverty rate near 10%. About a fifth of households include children, and a fifth of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, painting a picture of working families and longtime homeowners rather than transients.
The A train is the workhorse here — 104 St is about a three-minute walk, Rockaway Blvd about six minutes, and 111 St about ten minutes further along the same line.
