St. Cassian Elementary School

Teachers are excellent. Parents are involved. Students are polite and respectful. Principal is very weak and does not bring out the best in the school. some of the classes are way too big - heading toward 30 kids in one small room. I find the academics very good, and the teachers do extra help sessions for advanced students after hours.

This school is great. It is a very welcoming environment. I have been a student here for nine years and literally have a school family. Everyone knows each other and helps one another. The teachers and principals have great techniques and are very approachable. The parents are involved and the kids look forward to annual school activities. The sports and extra-curricular activities are eye opening. About once a month we go to Church and the whole school gets together every morning for a prayer service. I'm in eighth grade and I think the class privileges are evenly distributed. This school would be a perfect pick for your young child.

Excellent faculty! This school has a great environment and my son loves going there. All the 8th graders have been accepted to private high schools including private schools in Manhatten.

Small school with a young faculty. Conservative religious, traditional family oriented school. Needs stronger enrichment and less helicopter parents. In flux with the new principal....hope the new principal is hands-on but a strong leader
