Posted December 21, 2009

I am very concerned for my grandson. Who started out in a private school and is now in Gilmartin School. I found it loud and unorganized when I pick my grandchild.


Posted August 26, 2003

i am a custodial grand parent. And my grandson went to this school, i cant say enough on how much they helped him through is learning problem. I'd recommend this school to everyone. Kind ,considerate,and very well oriented to a child's needs. Parents are closely involved and that support is needed . Way to go gilmartin ,you have my vote of confidence.

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.
