District 26 Schools Receive Top Grade in Schools Progress Report

Little Neck's P.S. 94 and P.S. 221 get a 'B' grade, while the district overall gets an 'A.'

Little Neck's and received overall ‘B’ grades, and received an 'A' in the city’s latest progress reports for schools across the five boroughs.

Scores for both P.S. 94 and 221 indicate that student progress, which is measured by improvements in an individual student's state test scores in English and math, requires some attention before the grades can be raised. When it comes to school environment, which is determind by factors like attendance, safety and engagement, both schools earned 'A's.'

Louis Pasteur earned it's overall 'A' primarily through high student performance, though an analysis of the report says that "school environment" and "student progress" still need work.

Queens school District 26 received an overall ‘A’ grade. The district covers Douglaston, Little Neck and Bayside.

A total 1,219 city schools with students in kindergarten through eighth grade were included in the report cards.

“By acknowledging progress in schools that help struggling students, we can keep more students on track during elementary and middle school,” Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said of the progress reports.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
