Test scores here run well above District 24 averages — 66% in both ELA and math compared to the district's 51% and 55% respectively. The math trajectory is particularly notable, climbing from 59% in 2022 to 71% in 2025, showing the school has found formula that works. However, there's a clear divide between elementary and middle school performance: grades 3-5 hover in the 58-68% range, while grades 7-8 surge to 73-77% proficiency. This pattern suggests the middle school years are where this school really shines, possibly due to the Academic and Honors track available at the upper grades.

The survey data is as strong as any school in the city: 99% of teachers rate instruction quality as good or excellent, 100% feel safe at work, and 97% trust the principal. Parents echo that feeling — 94% are satisfied and 95% trust the principal. This isn't a school where families feel like strangers; the 83% family survey response rate (631 responses) suggests deep engagement. Discipline is essentially a non-issue with just one suspension last year, and that number has held flat for three years.

The student body mirrors the neighborhood: 45% white, 42% Hispanic, 10% Asian, 2% Black. This is a relatively homogeneous community compared to most Queens schools, though the 62% diversity index captures variation within the population. About 14% of students have IEPs, which is typical. The economic need index of 41% suggests a working-to-middle-class population — not wealthy but stable. The PTA's $121,000 annual fundraising ($152 per student) is nearly five times the district average, indicating parents here have both the means and the motivation to invest in their school.

Glendale is a residential, family-dense neighborhood in central Queens known for its quiet, tree-lined streets and single-family homes. The median home value of $774,000 and 49% homeownership rate indicate a stable, middle-to-upper-middle-class community. Safety scores are moderate (61/100), and the neighborhood scores well on health environment (79/100), though transit access is limited (36/100) — families here are largely car-dependent or rely on buses. There's a strong sense of neighborhood identity here, with local shops and restaurants along Myrtle Avenue providing community gathering points.

This is a walkable neighborhood where many students live close enough to walk or bike to school. The residential streets around the school are quiet and family-friendly, though families from farther afield typically drive. As a zoned school, most students live within the neighborhood.
