This school is awesome. The staff is very dedicated and work very hard to help children succeed. The principal needs some work because she started off good but then got soft. There are a few male teachers that are awesome. In a neighborhood where there are a lot of single parent homes, the male role model is important. Mr. M and Mr. E are amazing teachers who I hope stay there as long as my kids go to school.

This is my own opinion, I think Mulvey is a great school with great teachers who really cares about the children. What we really need is parent's involvement. Teachers have a job to do so do the parents. For example, homework, book reports, flyers that are sent home are responsibility of parents and the children. If you want to see improvement get involve, ask questions and listen to them, do not be afraid of checking their bookbags, show them that you are interested and you want them to succeed in life.

The School has a major problem with bullies. The Principal does try to keep things under control, but the problems still exists. The quality of teachers are good.

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.
