About Schools in Queens Village, New York
Queens Village, New York has 8 ranked public schools with an average score of 7.0 out of 10. That average tells only part of the story — 4 of those 8 schools (50%) score 7.0 or better, meaning half the ranked options here land in the upper tier. For a neighborhood of this size, that concentration of stronger performers gives parents real choices across elementary grades.
Elementary schools dominate the landscape and set the tone. PS/IS 295 leads at 8.4 — the highest score in the neighborhood — and operates as a combined elementary and intermediate school, carrying students through multiple grade levels under one roof. PS 34 John Harvard follows at 8.2, making the top two schools closely matched and consistently strong. PS 18 Winchester (7.3) and PS 33 Edward M. Funk (7.1) both clear the 7.0 mark, rounding out a deep elementary tier where four schools beat the neighborhood average.
The middle school options are limited. Jean Nuzzi Intermediate School is the only ranked middle school, scoring 6.9 — a solid result but just below the overall average. With a single middle school in the data, families don't have much comparison leverage at that grade band. It's worth requesting school-level performance detail directly and exploring neighboring districts if middle school choice is a priority.
Parents focused on elementary grades will find Queens Village's selection notably strong. Four schools at 7.1 or better is a meaningful outcome for 8 total ranked schools. PS/IS 295's combined structure stands out: top score in the neighborhood and a pipeline that extends beyond elementary without switching schools. Families valuing that continuity should make it their first visit. Those who prefer a standalone elementary have three capable alternatives in PS 34, PS 18, and PS 33. Narrow from there using enrollment zones and year-over-year test score trends.
