At a Glance

A rare K-12 community school with sky-high trust scores in a family-oriented neighborhood

Best suited for

Families with children who have IEPs and value a K-12 school where students can remain from kindergarten through graduation will find a strong community fit. Parents who prioritize trust and safety over raw academic rankings — and who don't mind limited transit options — will appreciate this neighborhood school. The ideal family is one that values the small-school feel, strong parent-teacher relationships, and a diverse community in one of the city's most stable neighborhoods.

What stands out
  • Zero suspensions — a remarkable discipline record in a district with a 0.1% average
  • Nearly universal IEP population (99%) with specialized programming across all grade levels
  • K-12 configuration allows siblings to stay at one school through graduation
  • Parent trust scores (98% teacher trust, 99% principal trust) exceed already-strong district averages
  • Strong teacher collegial trust (89%) suggests collaborative professional environment
Things to consider
  • Academic proficiency data not provided, making it difficult to assess academic performance relative to peers
  • Very low PTA fundraising ($20/student vs. $96 district average) may limit extracurricular resources
  • Limited transit access (score of 17) makes this less practical for families without cars
  • 99% IEP population is highly distinctive — families without IEP students should confirm program fit
  • No academic trend data available to assess improvement or decline

School SummaryDistrict 26

P.S. Q811 operates in District 26, consistently one of the city's highest-performing districts with 75.8% ELA and 80.2% Math proficiency averages. However, peer school ratings (94/100 for The Douglaston School and Douglaston Park, 92/100 for Oakland Gardens) suggest P.S. Q811 likely trails these top-tier schools. The peer comparison data was not provided for Q811 specifically, but its position in this strong district is notable — families benefit from district resources while the school maintains its own identity with the K-12 structure and distinctive student body composition.

AcademicsLimited data

Academic performance data was not provided in the available dataset. The school operates in District 26, which boasts the city's highest ELA (75.8%) and Math (80.2%) proficiency averages, but specific proficiency rates for P.S. Q811 are not available for direct comparison.

Culturestrong

The culture and climate data tells a compelling story — this is a school where relationships work. Parent-teacher trust hits 98% and parent-principal trust reaches 99%, both exceeding the already-strong district averages. Teachers report 97% safety, on par with the district, and the school recorded zero suspensions versus a 0.1% district average. Teacher instruction quality scores 86% and teacher-principal trust sits at 86%, with teacher collegial trust at 89%. These numbers suggest a functional, trusting environment where the day-to-day feels stable and collaborative.

Community

With 439 students spanning pre-K through 12th grade, this is a true neighborhood school serving multiple generations of local families. The student body is diverse — 33% Black, 28% Hispanic, 20% Asian, 14% White, 4% Native American, and 1% Multi-Racial — with an 84% diversity index that reflects the neighborhood's mixed character. Notably, 99% of students have IEPs, which shapes the school's programmatic focus. The economic need index sits at 83.4%, indicating significant student need despite the neighborhood's relative affluence. PTA fundraising is notably low at $20 per student compared to the $96 district average, suggesting less fundraising capacity or different community giving norms.

NeighborhoodDouglaston-Little Neck

The Douglaston-Little Neck neighborhood is one of the city's most family-friendly and stable areas. With a median household income over $111,000, a homeownership rate of 74.2%, and only 7% poverty, it's a solidly middle-to-upper-middle-class community. The education orientation score of 88.5 signals that families here prioritize schools. Safety scores are strong at 82, though transit access is limited (17 out of 100) — families primarily rely on cars. The area scores exceptionally well on health environment (99) and has relatively low crime density, making it comfortable for families with children.

Walkability is moderate — the neighborhood is residential and tree-lined, with many families within walking or short driving distance. Transit access is limited, so most families drive or carpool. The area is family-dense but not urban-walkable in the traditional sense.
