Enrolling approximately one thousand students in grades pre-kindergarten through sixth, P.S. 150Q Sunnyside is a coeducational public elementary school with a sixteen-to-one student-teacher ratio. The school’s solid building of quoined orange brick dates from 1931 and stands at the corner of 41st Street and 43rd Avenue. Younger students in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten attend classes at the nearby Annex on 44th Street, a facility with its own cafeteria and playground. In the main school, and in addition to General Education courses, a full range of approaches are on offer: dual-language classes in English and Spanish, a Gifted and Talented program, and multilingual lessons when English is a second language. Students with individual education programs benefit from integrated co-teaching and special needs classrooms. All general education classes employ targeted curriculums: the Teacher’s College Reading and Writing Project for English studies, enVisions for math, plus Amplify Science and Passport to Social Studies. In addition, the faculty at P.S. 150Q Sunnyside are trained in social-behavioral approaches such as Samford Harmony, aimed at helping young students to smoothly adjust to the school environment. Specialty lessons in art, drama, music, technology and physical education are naturally integrated into the school day. Enrichment programs include chorus, band, student council, an annual Art Expo, an annual musical, Chess in the Schools, Technology Club, and a Green Team that supports the school’s recycling efforts.

GreatSchools Rating
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.

Omg save ur child's future and find him/ her a good school. Very negative and unprofessional environment. They expect kids to walk around like robots or else something is wrong with ur child. Principal has no clue about how to run a school. She's nowhere to be found. If you go to the main office her assistants are very rude except for 1 lady who seemed to care.
