Summary

PS 69 Jackson Heights is an elementary school located in Jackson Heights, New York, serving 813 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. 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 69 Jackson Heights has shown strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that are generally higher than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 67.52%, compared to 61.87% for the district and 56.61% for the state. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and Hispanic students performing relatively well, while Asian students and students with special needs have struggled. The school has a relatively high per-student spending of $27,283 and a low student-teacher ratio of 16.8, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes and significant resources.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, PS 69 Jackson Heights generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA and Math. However, some schools, such as Hector Figueroa School (The) and PS 212, have shown stronger performance in certain grade levels and subject areas. Overall, PS 69 Jackson Heights appears to be a strong-performing elementary school, but the school may need to address the disparities in performance among different student subgroups to ensure that all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, November 20, 2015

Both my children attended this school. Two children going through grades 1-5 and only 2 teachers we "liked" but didn't love. ALL the other teachers, staff and especially the principal are very caring and dynamic. Yes, like most schools it's a bit over crowded but the caring and respectful environment nurture order and safety. My children were encouraged to learn and grow both academically and socially. We take away very fond memories after 5th grade graduation. My older child still stops by to say hello during events open to the community (halloween party, carnival day, book fair etc.) Close Quote
