Posted June 14, 2003

My son has gone since Kinder to this school. It' is small but newely remodeled within the last 5 years. Clean looking and you always see the principal around and when the kids are dismissed. The teachers love parents that come to class and get involved and most of all have input and interest in their child's education. The staff is very committed to what ever it takes to get that child to where they should be.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The CMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
