Posted May 7, 2012

We have been at the school for 2 years and will be moving out of district over the summer. I know our son will be sad to leave, as he's had a great experience at the school the past couple of years and has made a lot of good friends. The teachers are great - his second grade teacher in particular (unfortunately, she is retiring at the end of the year). It has made all the difference for him since he's had some awful teachers in the past. It's a really nice little community with a big heart, somewhere our son has felt secure and happy. There s some room for improvement with the curriculum, but I think overall the school has done a fantastic job!

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.
