A Roman Catholic elementary school serving pre-K through 5th grade in South Ozone Park, Queens. The school operates as part of the parish community and offers a traditional academic structure with religious instruction woven into the school day.
The student body is notably homogeneous, with over 91% white enrollment. This reflects both the demographics of the surrounding neighborhood and the fact that many Catholic schools in the city draw families specifically seeking this environment. The diversity index of 0.23 is on the low end of the scale.
South Ozone Park is a working- to middle-class residential neighborhood in central Queens. It has a moderate safety score (61) and good family density (72), meaning you'll see kids playing and families around. The transit score is lower (38), so a car or reliable ride will likely be part of your daily routine.
Transit access is limited compared to Manhattan or more central Queens neighborhoods. Most families drive or get dropped off; the school is accessible from the area but not walkable from major subway hubs.
