Summary

PS 29 is an elementary school located in College Point, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 707 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #25, which is ranked 327 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 29 has consistently ranked in the lower half of New York elementary schools, with academic performance generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 46.39% (3rd grade) to 60.95% (5th grade), compared to the district's 65.72%-66.13% and the state's 54.07%-56.61%. The school's performance on math assessments is also lower than the district and state, with proficiency rates ranging from 37.86% (3rd grade) to 56.25% (5th grade) in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 69.04%-73.76% and the state's 54.16%-59.7%. However, PS 29 performs relatively better for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools for these subgroups.
