Families seeking a small, traditional Catholic elementary school in a suburban Queens neighborhood, who value religious formation and personal attention over extensive diversity or urban convenience. Particularly well-suited for families already connected to the parish community.

- Pre-K through 5th grade in one building — younger children are in the same community as older siblings
- Daily religious instruction and prayer woven into the school day
- Catholic school discipline and structure — families seeking clear expectations will find it here
- Religious instruction is integral, not optional — families should be comfortable with Catholic pedagogy
- The school is less diverse than many Queens institutions; parents prioritizing maximum diversity may want to look elsewhere
- Eastern Queens location means a commute for families living in Manhattan or Brooklyn
- Academic outcomes and extracurricular offerings are not publicly reported — you're choosing on fit, not test scores
A Roman Catholic elementary school operated by a parish community, serving grades PK-5 with a traditional academic approach rooted in Catholic values.
The student body is predominantly white (73.4%) with notable Native American (10.1%) and Hispanic (9.7%) representation. The diversity index of 0.48 suggests moderate diversity — less diverse than many Queens schools, but more diverse than many suburban Catholic schools in the region.
Glen Oaks-Floral Park-New Hyde Park sits in eastern Queens, characterized by single-family homes, tree-lined streets, and a family-oriented atmosphere. It's one of the quieter, more suburban corners of the borough — a place where kids still ride bikes around the neighborhood.
The school is accessible by car from major roads; families driving from elsewhere in Queens or Nassau County will find it manageable, though it's not walking-distance from subway lines.
