P.S. 110 The Monitor

P.S. 110's 87.3% ELA proficiency and 80.3% math proficiency sit roughly 25 points above the district averages of 62% and 59% respectively, and the overall quality score of 3.35/4 is well above the district's 2.44. The upward trend is the headline: ELA has climbed from 44.5% in 2016 to 87.3% in 2025, with math following a similar arc from 42.6% to 80.3%. The 2022 dip (56.3% ELA) appears to have been a post-pandemic blip rather than a turning point. Grade-by-grade, Grade 3 math stands out at 91.9% and Grade 5 ELA at 93.9%, though Grade 5 math drops to 68.8% — still solid, but the relative dip is worth noting.

The survey picture is almost uniformly bright: 100% of respondents report strong relationships, 98% rate instruction quality highly, and parent-teacher trust sits at 95%. Discipline tells a striking story — zero suspensions for three straight years, against a district average suspension rate of 0.56%. The day-to-day feel is clearly one of partnership between families and staff. That said, chronic absenteeism at 78.9% is unusually high, meaning roughly four out of five students miss 10% or more of school days, even though the overall attendance rate (93.2%) beats the district average. The students who are present are clearly thriving; the question is who's missing and why.

The student body is 62% white, 20% Hispanic, 6% Asian, 6% multiracial, and 4% Black — much whiter than District 14 overall, where Black and Hispanic students make up the vast majority. With an economic need index of just 29.7 and 8% IEP students, the population skews lower-need and more affluent than the district average. PTA fundraising of $453 per student is nearly four times the district average of $123, signaling a parent base with both the resources and the will to support the school.

Greenpoint is a relatively affluent Brooklyn neighborhood: median household income of $126,127, a poverty rate of just 8.4%, and 64.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. Homeownership is low at 17.8%, reflecting a renter-heavy population, and median home values top $1.3 million. Only 12.6% of households have children, which is on the low side for a family-oriented area, but those who do live here tend to be well-resourced and educated.

The school isn't on a major subway line — families have about a 10-minute walk to the Nassau Av (G) station, 13 minutes to Graham Av (L), or 17 minutes to Grand St (L). Most families likely rely on strollers, bikes, or drop-offs rather than transit for the daily commute.
