About this school

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

The bold vision of Queens United Middle School 289 (QUMS) is that EVERY student will meet and exceed New York State standards in all subjects. In partnership with families & staff who fully embrace our Vision, Mission, and Core Values, we are successfully building a safe, intimate, and nurturing learning community. QUMS offers extensive academic support through strong classroom instruction, targeted after-school tutoring academies, and social-emotional support for all students from our dynamic guidance and social work team. QUMS is an official site where students take the Specialized High School Exam (SHSAT) during the school day in the Fall. Our after-school SHSAT preparation program strategically prepares students in 6th and 7th grades to sit for the SHSAT in the fall of their 8th grade year. This program has resulted in our students receiving acceptances into Stuyvesant High School, Brooklyn Technical High School, Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, and The Brooklyn Latin School. Additional early high school opportunities at QUMS include offering Regents courses in Life Sciences: Biology, Algebra 1, and U. S. History and Government based on equity. QUMS also offers a variety of activities such as Student Government, Robotics, Cooking Club, Chess Club, Soccer Club, and SONYC-- our free after school program. SONYC provides students with a broad range of cross-curricular and extracurricular experiences including sports, arts, and STEM exploration.
