I have a child who graduated Shubert and two who currently attend. I still have to say that this is a very good school and will reiterate my previous comment: "The school staff and parents provide the best supportive environment for the children to learn and grow, academically and personally. Diversity, academic excellence, parental and teacher involvement, and the kids! make this a very good school."

My daughter preciously attended a private school and after hearing wonderful comments about the school we decided to enroll her. She has had a wonderful year full of any kind of academic support needed. We had very good communication with teachers and pupio personel. The staff is commited to provide a high quality education and is guided by an energetic and extremely professional principal.

I have a second grader attending Shubert and a kindergartner on the way. I love the principal of the school (Ms May). She genuinely wants to do the best for our children and will push them to be their best. The Faculty and parents are very nice. It is a very small school and like a family.

Principal May is fantastic. She has turned the testing scores around in 10 months. We told her what we wanted and expected and she delivered. She has provided structure and has promoted teacher/parent unity. While the PTA had problems, she helped to keep them going. Under Principal May's umbrella the school will do well. I do feel that there are some teachers whose teaching method should be benchmarked as some of the other teachers still need to improve on their skills and passion for the profession they have chosen. There are a few who tend to be lazy and unorganized. Submitted by a parent

Mrs. May, principal has had a tremendously positive impact onthe school. She is innovative, encouraging and progressive. My children's experiences have been great at this school. I feel that they are well prepared and able to compete with their peers academically at other schools.

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.
