About Schools in Ozone Park, New York
Ozone Park's public school landscape covers 10 ranked schools spanning middle and high school levels, with an average score of 6.4 out of 10. That average understates the top of the market: half the ranked schools — five of ten — score 7 or higher, giving families real options within the neighborhood rather than forcing a long commute to find quality.
John Adams High School leads the city with a 7.5 out of 10, the strongest score among all ranked public schools here. It sits at the top of a competitive high school tier that also includes High School for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture, rated 7.3 — a strong alternative for students drawn to applied technical pathways. Both schools outperform the city average by a meaningful margin, and parents considering high school placement should start their research with these two before widening the search.
The middle school picture is equally strong. JHS 202 Robert H. Goddard and MS 137 America's School of Heroes both score 7.3, tied for second overall in the city. JHS 210 Elizabeth Blackwell rounds out the top five at 7.0. Three middle schools above 7 in a single neighborhood is an above-average outcome — parents with children approaching 6th grade have genuine choices, not just a default assignment.
The practical takeaway: Ozone Park performs better than its 6.4 average suggests. That number is pulled down by the lower end of the ranked pool, but the concentration of 7-plus schools at the top means a majority of families in this city have access to above-average public options without leaving the area. Parents should compare the two high schools closely — John Adams for a comprehensive program, Construction Trades for a focused technical track — and use the three strong middle schools as a pipeline decision. School Scout's individual pages for each of these five schools include score breakdowns by category, which makes it easier to match a school's strengths to your child's needs rather than relying on the overall rating alone.
