No Metal Water Bottles, Please
Please do not give your children metal water bottles for school. Metal water bottles are heavy (even when empty) and have caused many accidents. Please help us keep everyone safe.

PS196Q One of BEST Schools in New York State
Once again, PS196Q has been ranked one of the best elementary schools in all of New York State, by US News & World Report. In its 2025 standings, the publication called out PS196Q as #6 among all elementary public schools in New York State.
US News & World Report gave PS196Q an overall score of 99.79 out of 100, with ratings of “Well Above Expectations” in both Reading and Math.
As one of the only community schools (non-magnet, non-charter) in the top 10, our position reflects the exceptional quality of instruction and the commitment of parents and students, within our diverse community. It is notable that our school ranked higher than even prestigious schools from affluent districts, like Great Neck, Jericho, and Chappaqua. In fact, all top 10 schools were New York City Public Schools.

Submit the Family Income Inquiry Form
All NYC public school students can enjoy FREE breakfast and lunch meals all school year. Parents do not need to apply for their child to receive meals. However, we do ask families to complete a Family Income Inquiry Form, so that our school can receive the correct amount of funding for the program. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Medero.
