This is a wonderful school with a kind and caring staff. The teachers find ways to make learning interesting and fun for everyone. I feel that it is a safe and rewarding environment for my children to learn in.

In general, this school has no homework that students bring home. Some parents like it, some don't. There are some bright kids there.

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.
