Summary

PS 419 is a middle school located in Flushing, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 419 consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.81% of 6th graders at PS 419 were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.75% in the district and 50.86% statewide. The school also struggles in Science, with only 20.55% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to 33.96% in the district and 43.5% statewide. However, PS 419 performs better in Regents exams, with 84.38% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 73.33% in Life Science Biology.

Nearby schools, such as IS 145 Joseph Pulitzer, Forte Preparatory Academy Charter School, and Valence College Preparatory Charter School, generally perform better than PS 419 across various academic metrics. These schools have higher rankings within New York, with some ranking in the top 30-40% of middle schools. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at PS 419 suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
