School SummaryDistrict 24
In District 24, which spans parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, and Middle Village, Mosaic Pre-K Center operates alongside peer schools rated between 71 and 84 on state metrics. Without comparable test score data, positioning this school within the district hierarchy is difficult. However, the peer school list (including P.S. 007 at 84/100 and Central Queens Academy at 82/100) suggests this district has strong-performing options, making direct inquiry essential for families considering Mosaic.
Academic performance data for this school is not publicly available, which means families won't have the standardized test scores (ELA and math proficiency rates) to compare against district averages of 51% and 55% respectively. The school reports an average class size of 24.5 students, identical to the district average, and teachers rate instruction quality at 92%, suggesting the academic program has solid fundamentals despite the data gaps.
Teacher-reported safety comes in at 95%, matching the district average, which suggests families can feel confident about the day-to-day environment. Parent satisfaction runs strong at 94%, indicating families feel heard and respected. The suspension rate sits at 0.175%, which is remarkably low and suggests an approach to discipline that keeps students in classrooms. However, without attendance trend data or survey responses on trust and school leadership, it's difficult to fully characterize the culture climate trajectory.
The student body reflects the changing face of Glendale: 65% Hispanic, 20% Asian, 12% White, and small percentages of Black and Native American students. This diversity index of 55% means the school is moderately integrated, though the overwhelming Hispanic majority may shape the school's cultural programming and community events. With 54% of students facing economic need and 9% having IEPs, the school serves a population with varied learning and financial support needs.
Glendale is a working-to-middle-class Queens neighborhood known for its quiet residential streets, small local businesses along Myrtle Avenue, and proximity to Forest Park. The median home value of $774,000 and homeownership rate of 49% suggest a stable community where families put down roots. Safety scores are moderate (61st percentile), and the health environment scores well, though asthma-related emergency visits run slightly elevated. The area has relatively low transit access (36th percentile), meaning most families will drive or walk.
Glendale is a car-friendly neighborhood with limited subway access — families without vehicles should consider the commute logistics carefully, particularly for younger children or during inclement weather
