My overall experience with this school is wonderful. The teachers are caring and they take the time to speak with you should you have concerns or questions. The principal and vice principal make visits to the classrooms and stop to speak with you as you pass them in the hallway. I am a very happy parent. My child is very happy with his teachers and classsmates. husband and I moved to Brookfield specifically for the school system. It was the best move we've ever made! Love Brookfield!

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.
