District 24
District 24 stretches across a densely populated section of Queens that is home to many new immigrants. Neighborhoods in the district include Corona, Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, Long Island City, Maspeth and Middle Village. Overcrowding persists across the district despite the opening of several new schools in recent years.
