P.S. Q224

Test score data is not available for this school, making it difficult to directly assess student performance against the district averages of 75.8% in ELA and 80.2% in Math. The lack of proficiency data means parents cannot easily compare this school's academic outcomes to nearby schools like P.S. 098 (94/100) or P.S. 094 (94/100). Without this critical information, families should inquire directly with the school about student progress and academic programming.

The school's climate data reveals a stark contrast between family experience and teacher experience. Parents give near-universal marks: 98% trust teachers, 97% trust the principal, and 100% report strong relationships. Teachers, however, tell a different story — only 50% trust the principal and just 72% trust their colleagues. Teacher-reported instruction quality sits at 73%, well below the district average of 90%. On the positive side, 99% of teachers report feeling safe, and there were zero suspensions last year — a strong indicator of a restorative or supportive discipline approach. The family survey response rate of 27% is moderate, suggesting most participating families are generally satisfied.

The school serves 397 students in a notably diverse community — the diversity index of 85% reflects a student body that is 36% Hispanic, 29% Asian, 16% Black, 10% White, and 7% Native American. This diversity mirrors the neighborhood's stable, educated character (50.6% have BA+ degrees) while representing a broader mix than the surrounding area's predominantly homeowner demographic. The economic need index of 73% indicates a significant portion of students come from lower-income households, suggesting the school serves a mix of families across the economic spectrum despite the neighborhood's relative affluence.

Glen Oaks-Floral Park-New Hyde Park is a predominantly residential, homeowner-dominated neighborhood in Queens with a stability score of 98.5 — meaning most residents have lived there for years. The area scores well on safety (77th percentile) and education orientation (77th percentile), though transit access is limited (27th percentile). With a median home value of $604,412 and 75% homeownership, it's an established, family-friendly community. The area has some environmental health concerns, including a 12.6% elevated lead rate and moderate asthma rates, but overall is considered a safe, stable place to raise children.

Transit access is limited in this neighborhood — most families likely drive or walk. Parents should consider commute logistics, especially for those working outside the immediate area.
