P.S. 092 Harry T. Stewart Sr.

Test scores at P.S. 092 have more than doubled since 2016, with math climbing from 22.9% to 60.3% and ELA from 17.6% to 46.6% — significant growth even accounting for the COVID dip in 2022. The school now sits slightly below district averages in both ELA (46.6% vs 60.7%) and math (60.3% vs 62.2%), which places it mid-pack within District 30. Grade-level data shows particularly strong performance in 3rd grade math (71.4%) and 4th grade math (62.3%), suggesting the math program is gaining traction in the lower grades.

This is a school where families feel heard — parent satisfaction sits at 95%, trust between parents and teachers at 97%, and parent-principal trust at 98%. Nearly all families (97%) report strong relationships. However, there's a notable gap: teachers report instruction quality at 83% and teacher-principal trust at 80%, both below district averages. Teacher-reported safety (90%) also trails the district average of 94.8%. The school has maintained zero suspensions for three consecutive years, which is a disciplinary outlier in the best way — students are not being removed from class.

At 97% Hispanic, P.S. 092 is one of the most demographically homogeneous schools in the district. The diversity index sits at just 10%, and the school draws from a neighborhood where only 9.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree — well below citywide averages. With 77.9% economic need and 17% IEP students, this is a school serving families navigating significant resource constraints. PTA fundraising reflects this: $14 per student compared to a district average of $78.25.

North Corona is a densely populated, family-heavy neighborhood (86th percentile for family density) with a relatively low poverty rate of 16.5% and median household income of $77,536. However, safety scores are low (28th percentile), and the area scores poorly on education orientation (20th percentile). There are green spaces and transit options, but families should know the neighborhood has higher crime density and elevated asthma rates compared to other areas.

The school is located on a major Queens avenue, making it walkable and accessible by multiple bus routes. Families from the zoned area typically walk or take local buses; driving can be challenging during peak hours due to traffic on the avenues.
