Although it's easy to conflate large schools with stilted learning opportunities, P.S. 033 Edward M. Funk combines a student body of over 1,000—a number much larger than that of surrounding public elementary schools—with some of the best test scores in the Queens Village neighborhood. Thanks to a collaboration with Reading Partners, a national non-profit organization, P.S. 033 sees first- and second-grade students make a year's worth of progress on reading comprehension in just half the time. It's no surprise, then, that reading test scores at P.S. 033 significantly outperform district and state averages, while math scores hold steady. P.S. 033 also integrates technology into its curriculum early on, helping students not only learn keyboarding skills but also how to differentiate reliable and unreliable internet sources from one another. It's initiatives like these that help the school realize its missions of helping children become lifelong, independent learners and critical thinkers, and that makes P.S. 033 one of the best public elementary schools in Eastern Queens.

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.

P.S. 33Q is the best school I've visited during my tenure of tutoring. I've been there since 2011 and have totally enjoyed my stay there with Reading Partners. With all the aches and pains, I wouldn't have traded my experience there for anything. Lester S..
