Overview
Valence College Preparatory Charter School is a New York charter school authorized by SUNY [2]. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) lists the school on its charter-school page under that name [2], while the NYSED Data Site uses the shorter listing name VALENCE COLLEGE PREP CS [1]. The school is located at 97-29 64th Rd, Rego Park, NY 11374, according to its official Reporting & Key Documents page [3]. Rego Park is a neighborhood in Queens, New York City.
The supplied sources confirm the school’s charter status, authorizer, address, and a total student count, but they do not state a grade span, specific academic programs, or a founding date. This profile therefore separates verified facts from information that still needs confirmation through the school or its authorizer.
Location and School Identity
Valence College Preparatory Charter School should be distinguished from district-run New York City public schools. It is a charter school, and its authorizer is SUNY [2]. NYSED’s charter-school page states that institution data such as the school’s address, principal, and phone number are maintained by the SUNY Charter Schools Institute [2]. The official school website gives the campus address as 97-29 64th Rd, Rego Park, NY 11374, and lists phone numbers 929-571-7115 and 646-854-8414, along with the email contact hello [at] valencecollegeprep.org [3].
A school’s physical location does not by itself establish attendance-zone eligibility, district affiliation, or admissions priority. For a charter school, enrollment is governed by the school’s charter and admissions procedures rather than by a neighborhood attendance boundary. Readers should confirm current rules with the school and the SUNY Charter Schools Institute [2].
Grades and Academic Programs
The supplied sources do not list the grade levels served by Valence College Preparatory Charter School, nor do they describe a specific curriculum, special program, or academic theme beyond the words ‘College Preparatory’ in the school’s official name [2][3]. Because grade span and program offerings are not verified here, this profile does not infer them from the school’s name or from general expectations about charter schools.
NYSED’s charter-school page links to NYS Data such as enrollment, assessment, and report card information for the school [2]. The school’s own Reporting & Key Documents page also links to the NYSED Report Card for Valence College Prep [3]. Those official reports are the appropriate places to look for assessment results, accountability status, and other program-related indicators once the relevant reporting year is identified.
Enrollment and School Data
The NYSED Data Site profile for VALENCE COLLEGE PREP CS lists a total of 447 students [1]. The retrieved excerpt does not state the academic year or reporting period for that figure, so it should be treated as a dated snapshot rather than as a current enrollment count. Enrollment can change from year to year, and the NYSED Data Site should be checked for the most recent available year.
The same NYSED Data Site profile includes sections on school climate, attendance, and suspensions, but the retrieved excerpt does not provide the values for those measures [1]. When interpreting any school data, readers should note the reporting year, the population measured, and whether values are suppressed or missing. A single metric, such as enrollment or an assessment result, does not by itself establish overall school quality, and demographic information should not be used to infer school performance.
Admissions and Enrollment
The supplied sources do not describe a specific application process, deadline, lottery rule, or eligibility requirement for Valence College Preparatory Charter School [1][2][3]. As a charter school authorized by SUNY [2], it is not a district-run school with a traditional attendance zone. Readers should not assume that living near the Rego Park address creates enrollment eligibility.
In general, New York charter schools are public schools of choice; when applications exceed available seats, a lottery may be used. However, the exact process, timelines, and eligibility rules for this school must be confirmed with the school and its authorizer. The official next steps are to consult the school’s website, contact the school directly using the information on its Reporting & Key Documents page [3], and review the NYSED charter-school page and SUNY Charter Schools Institute information [2].
Student Services and Family Information
The school’s Reporting & Key Documents page provides a public collection of policies, reports, and financial documents [3]. These include a FOIL policy and FOIL subject matter list, the NYSED Report Card for Valence College Prep, a wellness policy, 2025 wellness meeting minutes, a district safety plan, the VCP Parent Bill of Rights, COVID-19 risk mitigation for 2021-22 return to in-person schooling, the 2020-21 reopening plan, CRRSA ESSER II and ARP ESSER III expenditure drafts, an ARP ESSER III budget narrative, an ARP ESSER III plan, a wellness policy assessment tool, and wellness meeting minutes dated 5-10-2023 [3]. The same page lists annual reports, accountability plan progress reports, and audited financials for 2020 through 2026 [3].
The supplied sources do not document specific accessibility accommodations, language-support services, transportation eligibility, counseling, or after-school programs. Families should contact the school directly for current information about services, and should not assume that a service is available because it is common at other schools.
History and Community Context
NYSED’s charter-school page lists annual reports and financial statements for 2022-2023, 2021-2022, 2020-2021, and 2019-2020 [2]. The school’s own Reporting & Key Documents page lists annual reports, APPR documents, and audited financials for 2020 through 2026 [3]. These documents show that the school has operated for multiple reporting years, but the supplied sources do not provide a founding date or a detailed history.
Rego Park is a residential neighborhood in Queens, New York City. The school’s address places it in that community, but the sources do not describe the school’s catchment, community partnerships, or local impact. Those topics would require additional verified evidence.
