Summary

Queens United Middle School is a public middle school located in Springfield Gardens, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 221 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #29, which is ranked 549 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Queens United Middle School has shown mixed performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 33.33% to 56.58% across grades 6-8, which were generally higher than the district and state averages. However, in math, the school's proficiency rates were lower, ranging from 28.95% to 50.77% across grades 6-8. The school's performance on Regents exams, such as U.S. History and Government, Algebra I, and Living Environment, was also relatively low compared to the district and state averages.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district, Queens United Middle School generally performed better than the nearby Is 192 Linden (The) and Emerson School (The) on ELA and math assessments. However, it lagged behind the higher-performing Woodmere Middle School, which is located in a different district (Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District) and serves a more affluent student population. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 81.15% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the challenges it faces in academic achievement.
