Summary

PS 150 is an elementary school located in Long Island City, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 699 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.

PS 150 consistently outperforms the New York City Geographic District #30 and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, PS 150's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 77.78%, compared to 58.59% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school has maintained a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating consistent high performance, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated between the top 10-15% of New York elementary schools. Additionally, PS 150 has a relatively high per-student spending of $29,305 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While PS 150 outperforms the district and state averages, some nearby schools within the same district, such as PS 11 Kathryn Phelan and PS 166 Henry Gradstein, also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates comparable to PS 150 in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, PS 150 has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, at 61.23% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school is serving a population with significant economic challenges, yet it is still able to achieve high academic outcomes. However, the school's lower rankings for English Language Learners and Homeless students suggest that these subgroups may require additional support and targeted interventions to ensure their academic success.
