Valence College Preparatory is a charter middle school serving grades five through eight across Queens County. The enrollment is small and tightly configured; each grade level holds roughly evenly distributed cohorts, creating a compact environment where teachers and staff know individual students well.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with meaningful diversity in other groups represented at smaller numbers. The school does not report free-or-reduced-price-lunch eligibility or special-population enrollment counts, so a parent interested in those specifics should contact the school directly. The chronic absenteeism rate sits below the midpoint among Queens County's districts, suggesting that students are attending regularly.
Valence opened more recently than most established schools in its county. It began with a single grade and added one grade per year, reaching its full middle-school configuration only a few years ago. For a family considering enrollment now, this means joining a school that has completed its growth phase and settled into a full, stable program rather than a still-expanding startup. The school has operated long enough for its earliest cohorts to move through all four grades and produce a record of outcomes.
On state assessments in English language arts and math, the school's results are publicly reported to run well above both New York State and New York City averages. It was recognized as a U.S. News Best Middle School in 2025. This consistent outperformance over the school's first years of full operation appears to be a central draw for families weighing enrollment. However, the school does not report proficiency data to this database, so those results are not presented here; a parent should review them directly on the school's website or through state data portals to see the specific figures and grade-by-grade breakdown.
The school's per-pupil spending falls in the upper range among Queens County districts, meaning resources are allocated above the county median. This spending level may reflect the school's charter model, staffing choices, or other operational priorities.
State testing results for middle grades are available, and the school's track record on those tests is the primary academic data point a prospective family has. The school does not report a graduation rate because it serves only through eighth grade; families should understand that high school outcomes and college pathways are outside its scope. A parent interested in where Valence students go after eighth grade, and how they perform in high school, should ask the school about its secondary-school partnerships or placement patterns.
