When my son attended Schaticoke I did not see any teacher go above or beyond protocol to help him out, aside from one individual. The teachers and administration seemed to put more importance on their ultra expensive field trips to Florida and see the Red Socks than they did anything else, disregarding those that could not afford these trips and smugly justifying their educational importance. I also believe some staff discriminate certain students...from experiences I have had personally happen with my son and the school and a gifted program he was supposed to be invited into but was not because of his special needs. Poor role models to say the least.

This school staff provides great individual attention to the student body. The well experienced education staff give responsible teaching and one on one help to make sure each student succeeds. The specialized lesson plans are well thought-out by the greatly experienced teachers at hand. The principal and resource staff take every precaution to make sure it is a safe learning environment. The schoolyard is well protected and secured in the country community. Each hired member does everything they can to make sure everyone is satisfied. The school makes sure parents are involved in the school including annual conferencing, pto events, principal outings and much more!

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.
