At a Glance
A neighborhood Catholic school with deep roots in a diverse Queens community
Families seeking a small, neighborhood-based Catholic education who value community roots and diversity over cutting-edge programs. Works well for families who want a traditional, structured elementary experience with religious values woven in — and who are comfortable with class sizes that aren't as small as the total enrollment might suggest. Parents should be prepared for the religious component to be substantive, not just nominal.
- Religious identity that shapes daily school life — prayer, Mass attendance, and Catholic values integration
- Very high diversity index reflecting the multicultural neighborhood
- Small total enrollment creates a tight-knit community feel
- Elementary-only focus means all activities and resources are geared toward young learners
- The 17.8:1 ratio is higher than many small private schools — class sizes may be larger than you'd expect from a school this size
- Religious instruction is required for all students, regardless of their own faith background
- Only serves pre-K through 5th grade — families will need to plan for a new school for middle school
- Limited advanced or specialized programming typical of larger private schools
- Middle Village is relatively quiet and suburban in feel — families seeking a more urban or progressive environment may find it a mismatch
A small Catholic elementary school with a traditional academic approach and strong neighborhood presence. The school emphasizes faith, community, and foundational skills.
The student body is notably diverse — with a majority-Hispanic population (52.5%), substantial Asian (18.8%) and White (22%) representation, plus smaller Black and multiracial populations. This reflects the changing face of Middle Village and Queens more broadly.
Middle Village is a quiet, residential corner of Queens with a mix of single-family homes and small apartment buildings. It's the kind of neighborhood where families know each other, and the school has been part of that fabric for generations.
The school sits in a walkable neighborhood where many families live within easy distance. For those driving, parking can be a challenge during drop-off and pickup times.
