At a Glance
A tiny faith-based elementary school where every child is known by name in a close-knit Queens Village community.
Best suited for
Families rooted in the Queens Village faith community who want a small, personal, values-based elementary education for their child and are comfortable with a very small peer group.
What stands out
- Extremely small enrollment of just 35 students means every child is well known by staff.
- Faith-based Assembly of God foundation shapes the school community and values.
- PK-5 elementary span lets children grow up within one school community.
- 11.7:1 student-teacher ratio allows for highly individualized attention.
Things to consider
- The school's tiny size means a very limited peer group and few classmates per grade.
- Program breadth — arts, sports, electives — will be modest given the small staff.
- No subway within a 20-minute walk means commute typically requires driving.
- The Assembly of God orientation may not align with families looking for secular or other faith traditions.
- The student body is demographically homogeneous, which may matter to families prioritizing a diverse peer environment.
Identity
An Assembly of God-affiliated coeducational elementary school serving PK through 5th grade with a faith-based foundation. The school operates at a very small scale, with just 35 students total, giving it an intimate, family-like atmosphere.
Community
Student demographics are heavily Black at over 91%, with a small Hispanic and multiracial presence and a low overall diversity index of 0.32 — well below the NYC average, reflecting the school's rootedness in a specific community. The tight size means most families likely know one another and may share connections beyond the school.
Neighborhood
Queens Village is a middle-income Queens neighborhood with a median household income near $98,000 and a low poverty rate of under 9%. The BA+ rate of about 29% reflects a working- and middle-class community where many adults hold steady jobs without four-year degrees, and the school draws from this established population.
This school is beyond walking distance of the subway, so families will likely rely on a car or local drop-off routines to get children to and from school each day.
