It is a really great school, my son goes to the Universal Pre-K there. They care about the students and the families and communities. They have hosted fund raisers for Juvenile Diabetes, for Haiti, and send out information regarding what is going on in the community. Fund raiser for a family in need.They have a great PTA and have hosted many activities like, science fair and math fair. Great School.

We are pleased overall with the our school. We especially loved the kindergarten transitional program and their wonderful teachers. We expected more communication between teachers and parents at the upper levels. We are very disappointed in the treatment received by the transportation department. Bus stops for elementary children are on busy roads out of sight of homes when alternatives are available.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
