Very unhappy with this school. Very disorganized there is way to much bulling and not much is done about it. I would like to know how to get my son out of this zoned school. Anyone know how I can do this without moving?

very unhappy with the environment in school a lot of bullys, many children that go to the school have learned in their culture that women are subordinate to men, Meaning of lesser importance, My daughter has been hit by several of these type of boys that think they can control a girl and miss treat them. They come from their country and think their still there. The teachers on the other hand are very nice,and teach well but its hard though for a child to learn where safety is an issue and nothing gets done about it. Happy to say Ill be putting her in a much better school.

It's a great school. This is my daughter's second year and she loves it. My only complaint is the new principle Mr. Woo might be overwhelmed and less in control than the former wonderful principle Susan Grey. Oh well, hope he will get the hand of it soon.

Children always get hurt at the school. My son doesn't want to go to school everyday because the classmate sometime hit him.

Children get hurt at lunch all the time. My child had an incident every year that he was there. And when we brought it to the school's attention it was 'written' up and forgotten about. The teachers are wonderful! I have no complaints about them at all.

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.
