A Roman Catholic elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, rooted in faith-based education with moderate class sizes that allow for personalized attention.
The student body is predominantly white (66%) with a significant Hispanic population (23%) and smaller Asian (8%) and Black (2%) representation. This is less diverse than many NYC private schools, reflecting the neighborhood's character. Families here tend to value the combination of faith formation and academic preparation in a smaller setting.
Auburndale is a quiet, residential neighborhood in eastern Queens known for single-family homes and tree-lined streets. It's family-friendly but feels more suburban than typical NYC. The transit score of 34 reflects limited subway access — families should expect to rely on cars or buses. The safety score of 72 indicates a reasonably safe area.
This is a car-dependent neighborhood. Families without a vehicle should factor in commute time, as the nearest subway lines require a bus connection or significant walking.
