District 27
Bounded by Nassau County on one side and Brooklyn on the other, District 27 is the southernmost district in Queens. Its territory stretches from Far Rockaway to Howard Beach and Woodhaven. Overcrowding, limited choice at the elementary and middle school level, and the district's expansive territory make it difficult for most students to attend anything but their zoned school.
