Hunters Point Elementary School (P.S. 384Q / 30Q384) uses NYC Public Schools’ centralized admissions: families apply in MySchools (ranking up to 12 choices) rather than applying directly to the school. (img1.wsimg.com) For Fall 2026 kindergarten (children born in 2021), NYCPS listed these key dates: application opened December 9, 2025, closed January 23, 2026, and offers are scheduled for March 31, 2026. (schools.nyc.gov) For Fall 2026 pre-K (children born in 2022), the application opens January 14, 2026, closes February 27, 2026, and offers are scheduled for May 12, 2026. (schools.nyc.gov) The school states it serves families within the P.S. 78 zone; its published admissions priorities start with applicants zoned to P.S. 78 with a sibling at the school, then other P.S. 78-zoned applicants, followed by sibling priority (in-district then out-of-district), then current P.S. 384 pre-K students (in-district then out-of-district), then other in-district, then other out-of-district. (ps384q.org) Hunters Point is also listed under NYCPS “Diversity in Admissions,” giving priority to applicants living in public housing for 20% of seats, and waitlists (used to fill seats after offers) automatically include any higher-ranked programs above the one you were offered, with offers made only if seats open.
