At a Glance
A small high school in Southeast Queens where teacher trust and family satisfaction score near-perfect marks but academic proficiency data remains unreported
Families prioritizing a small school environment with strong teacher-family relationships, particularly those with children in special education programs, may find this school worth exploring — but should insist on seeing academic outcomes data before enrolling.
- Near-perfect teacher trust and parent satisfaction scores (100% and 98%)
- Zero suspensions — no exclusionary discipline in the data
- 20% IEP population served in integrated grades 9-12
- Small school scale (260 students) with class sizes matching district average
- No academic proficiency data available — cannot compare to district or peer schools
- Extremely low survey response rates (2 family responses, 18 teacher responses) may not represent broader community sentiment
- No attendance or graduation data reported — key outcomes unknown
- State test scores, college acceptance rates, and graduation rates should be requested directly from the school

School SummaryDistrict 27
Among District 27 peers including high-performing charters like Success Academy (96/100) and Peninsula Preparatory (94/100), Voyages Prep lacks the public data that typically factors into school comparisons. Without test scores, it cannot be ranked against established peers like Scholars' Academy (86/100) or P.S. 066 (90/100). The relationship metrics are exceptional but come from a very small sample.
Academic proficiency data is not available for Voyages Prep, which limits the ability to benchmark student achievement against district averages (ELA 56%, Math 57%). The school serves grades 9-12 with an average class size of 23.4, matching the district average exactly. Without test score data, prospective families should contact the school directly about curriculum, graduation rates, and college readiness outcomes.
This is where Voyages Prep stands out: teachers report 100% confidence in instructional quality and trust in leadership, and families report 98% satisfaction — both significantly above the district averages (91% and 93% respectively). With zero suspensions and a 20% IEP population, the school appears to emphasize restorative approaches over exclusionary discipline. The caveat is extremely low survey response rates (2 family responses, 18 teacher responses), which means these exceptional numbers represent a very small subset of stakeholders.
The student body is predominantly Black (59%) with significant Hispanic representation (24%), reflecting the neighborhood's demographic makeup. With 20% IEP students and an economic need index of 78 — well above typical district averages — the school serves a higher-need population than many peers. The diversity index of 60% indicates moderate demographic variety, though the student body is less racially diverse than the district overall.
Springfield Gardens offers a stable residential community with a safety score in the 61st percentile and a health environment score ranking in the 85th percentile. Transit options are limited (37th percentile), and family density is moderate (38th percentile). Education orientation scores lower (31st percentile), suggesting this isn't a neighborhood defined by its schools. The area has a homeownership rate of 37% and median household income around $75K, indicating a working- to middle-class community.
Families should expect to rely on cars or bus service rather than walkable transit — the transit score reflects limited subway or rapid bus access. The area is residential with typical suburban-style routes.
