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.

Niche Review
I currently moved to Maspeth and I absolutely love it. The people in these town are very welcoming and very friendly. It is also a very quite place which I love because I used to live in Yonkers and people were very noisy.

Niche Review
Difficult area if you don't drive, no trains close by, buses run well or really bad so not consistently. Nice and quiet especially if you have a family and stuff is close by if you want to walk or if you drive. Nothing is far out of the way, just if you commute for work or school its draining after a while if you need to take multiple trains and buses back and forth day after day back and forth especially if you're waiting for 30 minutes to an hour for a bus then they're packed or you don't fit to get on

Niche Review
Woodside is not your average neighborhood. It has the feel and look of a small town. Yet, the constant noise from the 7 train reminds you that you are not that far away from times square. Over the years, the neighborhood has expanded in a way that accommodates the needs of everyone, regardless or religion or ethnicity. The schools in the neighborhood provide an excellent environment for children to learn. Although the rent is going up in this area, it is great place to raise a family.
