P.S. 330, also known as Helen M. Marshall School, is an elementary school serving grades K-5 in Queens. It is housed in a modern, award-winning building in Jackson Heights, recognized for its light-filled design, a transparent "gymnatorium," and a nature-inspired interior palette that includes sculptures honoring artist Isamu Noguchi. The school serves a diverse student body with a high percentage of English Language Learners (54%) and students with economic need (93% ENI), both well above citywide medians. Parent satisfaction is exceptionally high, with nearly all families reporting positive experiences in recent surveys. Academically, the school's ELA proficiency (38%) and Math proficiency (51%) are below the citywide median, indicating areas for growth in these subjects. However, the school is noted for its strong school climate and culture, and positive student progress. It offers a Spanish Dual Language program and a STEM Discovery program, alongside its general kindergarten offering. The school maintains a very low suspension rate and a solid attendance rate. Parents describe a supportive environment where staff work closely with students.
What this school has to spend, and what it spends it on. Spending is not a measure of quality. Schools serving more students with higher needs receive more money.
