My child is extremely happy at Korn School. His third grade teacher is an extraordinary veteran educator, a firm disciplinarian but also nurturing. She has a structured program that suits my child and she is working hard to prepare her students for the 'next level' I love going into Korn School and seeing the classrooms all busily and happily working, sometimes in groups or individually with the teacher. I sense a warmth and caring in this school and I would definately recommend Korn School to all parents.

Very unhappy with Korn school. It has declined dramatically in the last 2 years. SO much time is spent ignoring discipline problems and academics are suffering. Reward system for students requiring discipline plans is just ridiculous. Can never get a straight answer from the principal. Looking forward to moving on to Memorial School.

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.
