Ps 110, Corona NY - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Ps 110

PS 110 sits in Corona, a dense, working-class neighborhood in Queens organized around Roosevelt Avenue's bustling commercial corridor and bordered on its eastern edge by Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. The school serves kindergarten through fifth grade and enrolls a student body that is almost entirely Hispanic and economically disadvantaged. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the neighborhood's immigrant working families.

The school's academic results show a pattern of concern across both math and English language arts. In math, proficiency starts at a moderate level in third grade and falls sharply through fifth grade. In English language arts, proficiency is substantially lower, remaining flat and weak across the tested grades. Science proficiency in fifth grade is the lowest of all tested areas. When measured against other elementary schools in Queens County, PS 110's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile. A parent may want to look into what instructional supports the school offers, particularly in reading and science, and what the trajectory looks like for students as they move through the grades.

The school does not report special population data, including the number of English learners or students with individualized education plans. This is a gap worth understanding directly with the school, given that Corona's population is predominantly immigrant and many students are likely learning English as an additional language. The school's approach to language support and how it structures instruction for multilingual learners would be important information to gather.

District 24, which encompasses Corona, Elmhurst, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Glendale, and Middle Village, faces chronic overcrowding despite the capital plan's commitment to build three new elementary schools in the district. The district holds some open seats in aggregate but roughly a third of its school buildings remain crowded. That said, the district is also projected to lose among the largest number of students of any district in the city over the coming decade, a demographic shift that will eventually reshape enrollment pressures.

Corona itself is a neighborhood of small businesses, street vendors, and working families living in early-twentieth-century brick rowhouses and low-rise apartments. Housing values have risen modestly in recent years but remain below the state average. Transit is strong along the elevated 7 train on Roosevelt Avenue, and Flushing Meadows–Corona Park anchors the eastern edge with museums, gardens, sports facilities, and green space. Several district schools offer Spanish or Chinese dual-language programs that draw families from across the district, giving multilingual families an established option if that is a priority.

PS 110 is a neighborhood school, embedded in Corona's residential blocks rather than on a separate campus, serving families in its immediate zone. It is a regular public school without a specialized curriculum, magnet status, or charter structure. For families in Corona seeking an elementary school, PS 110 is a default zoned option, and its current performance results suggest they would benefit from understanding the school's instructional focus, its support for emerging bilingual students, and how it is working to lift proficiency in reading and science.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
