At a Glance

A Small East Flushing Elementary with a Faith-Based Foundation

Best suited for

Families in East Flushing or nearby Queens neighborhoods seeking a small, intimate elementary school with a faith-based框架; parents comfortable with a predominantly Asian student body; those who prioritize low student-teacher ratios over diverse peer exposure.

What stands out
  • Very small school (142 students) — families seeking intimate settings may appreciate this
  • 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio — better than many private schools
  • PK-5 elementary serving the youngest learners
  • Religious-affiliated option in a neighborhood with few such choices
Things to consider
  • The "Muslim Center" name and Church of God affiliation may confuse parents expecting a Muslim educational environment — worth clarifying directly with the school
  • Extremely homogenous demographics (86.6% Asian) — limited exposure to diverse peer groups
  • Queens location requires car or bus travel for most families
  • Only 142 students means no large athletic programs or extensive extracurricular offerings
IdentityThe Small Scale Suggests A Neighborhood-Focused, Intimate Learning Environment. With A Church Of God Affiliation Woven Into A Community Historically Associated With Muslim Residents, This School Likely Serves As A Faith-Adjacent Educational Option Rather Than A Strictly Denominational One.

A private PK-5 elementary school with 142 students and an 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio, operated under Church of God affiliation despite its "Muslim Center" name — likely reflecting community heritage or partnership rather than current religious practice.

CommunityHomogeneous

Extremely homogenous student body: 86.6% Asian, 13.4% White, and effectively no Black or Hispanic representation. The diversity index of 0.5678 is misleading here — it's driven by the small White minority, not meaningful racial diversity.

NeighborhoodEast Flushing

East Flushing in Queens is a residential, working-to-middle-class neighborhood with significant Asian immigrant communities. Family density of 34/100 indicates a moderately family-oriented area with decent density but not overwhelming.

East Flushing is primarily car-oriented with limited subway access. Most families will drive or rely on buses; walking to school is feasible for those living nearby but not typical for longer commutes.
