Scholars' Academy is a uniformed preparatory school consisting of a middle school (grades 6–8) and a high school (grades 9–12) for gifted and talented children located in Rockaway Park, in the New York City borough of Queens.[1] Scholars' Academy grew out of a pilot program[citation needed] and established a middle school in 2004 and added a 9th grade in 2007.[2] It draws 51% of its students from the Rockaway Peninsula and is known for its diversity.[3][4]
As of 2014, the school had nearly a 100% graduation rate.[5] The school's founding principal, Brian O'Connell, left the school in 2020.[5][6]
