At a Glance

A Small Episcopal Middle School in Residential Maspeth

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, diverse, faith-based middle school in a residential Queens neighborhood who can manage a commute without easy subway access. Particularly well-suited for parents who value tight community and religious education in a coed setting.

What stands out
  • Very high diversity index (0.91) — one of the most diverse private middle schools in the city
  • Small enrollment of ~200 students creates tight-knit community
  • Episcopal affiliation offers faith-based values for families seeking that environment
  • 11:1 student-teacher ratio provides more individualized attention
Things to consider
  • Transit accessibility is limited — families should consider commute logistics carefully
  • Smaller school means fewer extracurricular options and less departmental depth
  • Faith-based affiliation may not suit all families
  • At $68/100, the neighborhood safety score is moderate — parents should visit to assess

NeighborhoodMaspeth

Maspeth is a residential, working-class neighborhood in central Queens known for its quiet streets and strong community feel. The area is predominantly single- and multi-family homes rather than high-density apartment buildings.

The transit score of 36/100 indicates limited subway access — most families will likely drive or rely on buses. The area has a suburban quality despite being in NYC, so a car is helpful though not essential.
