This school is very good. My son has LOVED his teachers thus far. The racial and socio-economic diversity represented in the student body is very appealing. The principle and administration are both very engaged, and their commitment to improvement is impressive. Even if we moved to a different neighborhood I think we would try to lottery into this school.

I would put it straightforwadly: socially very bad, accademically very poor, the new principle noncooperative and insensitive! some teachers in K grade very friendly but you need to do pre-research..

Excellent elementary school -- academics, afters program, advanced learning program, annual school events that we all look forward to year after year (UN day, Welcome Back Picnic, St.Pats. Bingo, etc.) -- all within a neighborhood school setting with a family feel. My two children are receiving an excellent education. Principal Carbone is fantastic - serious yet has a great sense of humor and great respect from her staff. Many of the teachers have been at the school for many years, and they love their work. I could go on and on about this wonderful 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.
