P.S. 100 Glen Morris

The 2025 test scores show a striking recovery after a turbulent period — math proficiency of 68.7% exceeds the district average of 57.3% by more than 11 points, while ELA at 55.9% essentially matches the district average of 56.1%. The school's trajectory has been volatile: scores dropped sharply in 2022-2023 (ELA fell to 43.8%, math to 50.9%) before rebounding strongly. Grade-level data shows consistent performance across grades 3-5, with particularly strong fourth-grade math at 68.2% and third-grade math at 76.2%. While the overall score of 2.49/4 beats the district average of 2.27, the year-over-year swings suggest parents should track ongoing performance closely.

The survey data paints a picture of a school where relationships work — 98% of families report strong relationships, 97% trust the principal, and 95% trust teachers. Teacher-reported safety at 96% is notably higher than the district average of 92.6%. However, there's a tension: chronic absenteeism at 66.6% is extremely high, meaning roughly two-thirds of students are missing significant school time. This drags overall attendance down to 91.3%, barely above the district average despite the strong family engagement scores. The school has maintained zero suspensions for three consecutive years, which families may see as a positive approach to discipline. Teacher instruction quality scores 86% — slightly below the district average of 90.9% — which is worth noting alongside the strong trust numbers.

With 745 students across grades PK-5, P.S. 100 has a diverse student body that reflects its South Ozone Park neighborhood: 42% Native American (predominantly Caribbean-American families with roots in Guyana, Trinidad, and other Caribbean nations), 27% Asian, 22% Hispanic, 4% Black, and small populations of white and multiracial students. The diversity index of 77% is high. Economic need is significant at 63.1%, and 17% of students have IEPs. The neighborhood itself is working- and middle-class, with a 69% homeownership rate and median household income of $98,190 — higher than many Queens neighborhoods. PTA fundraising of $34 per student is modest compared to the district average of $121, suggesting fewer extra resources from family donations.

South Ozone Park is a densely residential, family-oriented section of Queens with strong Caribbean roots — the neighborhood is known for its Guyanese and Trinidadian communities, which explains the high Native American demographic in the school. The area has a 69% homeownership rate, contributing to neighborhood stability (score: 60.92). Safety scores moderate at 60.54, while transit access is limited (37.55), meaning most families drive or walk. The health environment score is strong at 87.36, though asthma rates are notable. Family density is high at 72.03, meaning children are everywhere — this is very much a neighborhood where kids walk to school together.

Many families walk to this zoned school given the neighborhood's residential character and limited public transit options — families without cars may find the area less convenient.
