Holbrook Road Elementary is truly a phenomenal school. My son is currently a second grader there and he has improved significantly since transferring to this school. The teachers and staff are wonderful! They respond quickly to phone calls, emails and notes and they work extremely hard to help the students. They work very hard with their students and do their best to ensure that students are on track for success. The principal is great and very involved. He even took time out of his very busy day to escort my son to the hospital when he got sick at school. My son loves the school and the staff and I do, too!

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.
