P.S. 110

P.S. 110's math scores (56.2%) run slightly ahead of the district average (54.8%), but ELA (38.3%) lags significantly behind the district's 51.1%. The story here is volatility — the school hit 42.6% ELA in 2017, dropped to 27.4% in 2024, and clawed back to 38.3% in 2025. Third graders show particular strength in math (64.2%), suggesting early intervention works when kids are present. The 1.89 overall score falls below the district's 2.12 average, placing it in the lower tier of District 24 schools.

If you ask families, they love this school: parent satisfaction sits at 96% with near-universal trust in both teachers and the principal (97%). Teachers report strong collegial bonds (86%) and feel supported by leadership (94%). Instruction quality scores 94%, above the district average. The zero suspension rate reflects a restorative or supportive approach to discipline. HOWEVER, chronic absenteeism at 77.4% is a glaring red flag — nearly 8 out of 10 students miss too much school, which undermines the strong teaching and trust that families celebrate. This is less a climate problem and more an attendance crisis.

P.S. 110 is 91% Hispanic, reflecting Corona's demographic makeup, with 7% Asian students and negligible Black or white enrollment. The economic need index of 86.3% is among the highest in the city — almost nine in ten students qualify for free or reduced lunch. At 899 students, the school is mid-sized with class sizes matching the district average (24.5). IEP students make up 17%, slightly above typical. PTA fundraising is minimal at $8 per student compared to the district average of $32, suggesting less extra funding for enrichment.

Corona is a working-class neighborhood in Queens known for its dense population of families with children (family density score: 90.42, in the 90th percentile) but low education orientation (18.01). Median household income is $66,388 with a 17.9% poverty rate. The area scores poorly on safety (32.95) and has elevated environmental health concerns (higher asthma rates, PM2.5). Transit access is moderate (45.21), and homeownership is low at 22% — this is a renting community. Families should know the neighborhood has limited formal education resources but strong community networks.

Given the high family density and moderate transit scores, most families walk or take short bus rides. The neighborhood is pedestrian-heavy, though traffic and safety concerns around the area warrant attention for younger children walking alone.
