Both ELA (45.2%) and math (52.8%) proficiency run below district averages (56.1% and 57.3%), and the school's overall 1.96/4 quality score trails the district's 2.27/4. Math has been on a real climb since the 2022 dip (31.2%) and is now nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, while ELA bounces more — it spiked to 55.7% in 2018, fell to 33.3% in 2024, and recovered to 45.2% in 2025. Grade 4 is the academic bright spot (56.4% ELA, 61.4% math), outpacing Grade 3 (34.2% ELA, 48.1% math) — kids tend to look stronger the longer they're here.

The day-to-day feel is calm and parent-connected. Zero suspensions over three straight years is a genuine standout, and 97% of teachers report feeling safe on campus. Families love the school — 100% say there are strong relationships, 96% trust their child's teacher, and 97% trust the principal. The wrinkle is internal: only 67% of teachers trust the principal, well below the 93% who rate instruction quality highly, which suggests a leadership disconnect the staff feel even if families don't. Attendance at 89.4% essentially matches the district, but chronic absenteeism at 58.7% means more than half of students miss enough school to count as chronically absent — that's a real headwind for academic growth.

The student body is 67% Asian, 22% Hispanic, with smaller Black, White, and multiracial shares — a composition shaped by the surrounding neighborhood's immigration patterns. The school has a total enrollment of 475 across its grades and serves a community where the economic need index is 77.7, meaning most students come from households facing economic pressure. IEP enrollment sits at 14%, in line with city norms.

Ozone Park (North) is a middle-income neighborhood where the median household income is $85,583 and the poverty rate runs at 13.3% — both healthier than many parts of the city. Nearly half of households own their homes (48.7%), and the typical home value is around $735,579, a sign of stable, settled families. About 23.2% of households have children, giving the area a family-centered feel. The 26.4% rate of residents with a bachelor's degree or higher points to a working- and middle-class population rather than a highly credentialed one.

The A train is the everyday commute — 80 St is roughly a 5-minute walk and 88 St about 7 minutes, with Grant Av around 11 minutes for families coming from the east.
