Queens Technical High School

Test score data wasn't provided in this dataset, so we can't directly measure how Queens Technical stacks up against the district average of 51% ELA and 55% math proficiency. The program offerings include AP courses, STEM pathways, and ELL support — solid building blocks. The program richness score of 66.2/100 suggests a decent range of academic options, though not as robust as some peer schools.

This is where Queens Technical shines. Parent satisfaction sits at 94%, parent-teacher trust at 95%, and parent-principal trust at an impressive 96%. Teachers report strong collegial trust (87%) and trust in leadership (87%), though teacher-rated instruction quality (83%) comes in below the district average of 92%. The standout stat: zero suspensions. That suggests either exceptionally effective behavior management, a student body that doesn't need disciplinary intervention, or both. Family survey response rate is low at 13%, which means the satisfaction numbers reflect a subset of families — worth noting when weighing how representative these feelings are.

The student body is 80% Hispanic, reflecting the surrounding Sunnyside neighborhood's demographics. With 10% Asian, 5% White, and 3% Black students, plus a 40% diversity index, there's meaningful diversity within that majority-Hispanic composition. Nearly one in five students has an IEP, and the economic need index of 79.5% signals a predominantly working-class families. The 13% family survey response rate is on the lower side, so while the 94% satisfaction is encouraging, it may not capture every parent's perspective.

Sunnyside is a dense, working-to-middle-class Queens neighborhood with a family density score in the 60th percentile — meaning lots of kids around. The median household income of $78,147 and homeownership rate of 21.7% paint a picture of renters and working families. Safety scores sit at 45.59 (below median), which is something families should factor in. Transit access is moderate (49.81), and education orientation is average (47.13) — this isn't a hyper-education-focused neighborhood like parts of Manhattan or Brooklyn, but it has solid community resources. Asthma rates and lead exposure are notable environmental health concerns in this area.

Sunnyside is highly walkable, and the school is accessible by several bus lines and the 7 train. Families in the neighborhood can walk or take short bus rides; those coming from farther away will rely on the 7 train or express buses.
