GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

If niche wants to be the source of information to parents, you need to have accurate information. P.S.122 is a K-8 School. It has an elementary and a middle school. Mixing results from Middle School and Elementary School cannot give parents a clear picture or ranking for each of the schools. The Middle school is Ranked 1 in NYC by DOE when you look at the results of the Middle School students and it is not what you have posted. So either niche is in the business to give accurate information to parents or NOt and that is your choice.

P.S. 122Q -- Mamie Fay is quite possibly the single best elementary school in Queens. The great work done by the dedicated teachers and the incredibly involved PTA, had produced a school that is not just academically superior, but truly welcoming and inclusive of three community. There is a a substantial variety of subjects and a good learning environment. This school is truly an example others should follow.

This school has too many students and the administration seems to be unable to make effective decisions or hold teachers accountable. We set down a plan with the teacher and administration to meet weekly the teacher rarely showed up to the meeting and the administration did nothing. Most teachers on...

Awful. I’ve had 3 kids in this school and seen it go downhill over the years. Other schools in the neighborhood have upped 5eir game and are offering wonderful programs that 122 doesn’t even come close to.
