Summary

Ps 148 is an elementary school located in East Elmhurst, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 653 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #30, which is ranked 382 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Ps 148 has consistently ranked in the lower half of New York elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 36.78% (5th grade) to 55.24% (4th grade), compared to the district's 58.59%-61.87% and the state's 54.07%-56.61%. In math, the proficiency rates at Ps 148 ranged from 46.24% (5th grade) to 66.07% (4th grade), again lower than the district (59.01%-65.34%) and state (54.16%-59.7%) averages. The school's science proficiency for 5th graders was only 30.11%, compared to the district's 49.25% and the state's 45.02%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Ps 92 Harry T Stewart Senior and Ps 212, generally perform better than Ps 148 on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science. However, Ps 148 has a higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to these nearby schools, suggesting that additional resources are not necessarily translating into better academic outcomes.

The teachers dont care. They are not invested in the children. The teachers leave before the school day is over. The school is poorly run. Close Quote
