New Dorp Evening Hs M/W

No state ELA, math, or science proficiency data is reported for this program, which is typical for small alternative evening schools where standardized testing participation is inconsistent. District 31's traditional schools average around 61% proficiency in both ELA and math, but those averages reflect a very different student population and a five-day-a-week schedule. With an average class size of 23.4 — identical to the district average — students who do attend likely receive more individualized attention than they would at a typical crowded high school.

The discipline picture is clean on paper — zero suspensions reported — though that's common at any small alternative program where students have self-selected into a quieter, more adult setting. Standard climate surveys (parent satisfaction, teacher trust, safety) aren't reported for this school, which is the norm for evening programs operating on a fundamentally different calendar. The day-to-day feel is likely calmer and more self-directed than a traditional high school, with students who are there because they chose to be.

Detailed demographic breakdowns aren't published for this program, but it serves students from across Staten Island and beyond who are seeking an alternative to the traditional high school track. The surrounding Miller Field neighborhood skews toward college-educated adults (66% with a bachelor's degree or higher) and is family-dense, with 55.2% of households including children — so the area itself reflects established Staten Island families, even if the students commuting in for evening sessions come from varied backgrounds. The school's small, self-selecting population typically includes older teens, working students, and young parents balancing school with other responsibilities.

Miller Field sits on Staten Island's south shore and is one of the more family-dense pockets on the Island, with 55.2% of households including children and a notably high 66% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. The area is primarily residential and car-dependent, with families largely commuting by vehicle rather than transit. As an evening-only school, this location works well for students who drive or get dropped off after work and dinner.

Families reach the school via the Staten Island Railway: Grant City station is about a 12-minute walk, New Dorp about 13 minutes, and Jefferson Avenue about 18 minutes — manageable in good weather, but most evening students likely drive or get a ride.
