I know the test sqores are not that high as we would like however I am very impressed with most of my child's teachers dedication. Also the guidance counseklar and the assistant principal helped us with the bulling issue my son had. The principal makes alot of efforts to improve the pride in the school.

The Principal is a great person, very dynamic, that really cares for the students. He treats them with great respect. Students are of many different backgrounds, some are more challenging than others.It seems to me that a good amount of kids don't really care much about their education.My son does great here, If you want to learn, you can. The teachers are great and there is plenty of extra help for those who need it or want it. the music program is outstanding. the district is very diverse but not all parents are involved. You always see the same faces everywhere.

the acedemic standards of this school are outstanding. well put together school. they have great staff. everyone is included in everything. very interactive school. kids are very well behaved. there's chorus, gym, music. as well as after school activities footlball, soccer, lacrosse, sofrtball, baseball,basketball, volleyball,wrestling, gymnastics, and art club, chamber chorus, yearbook, enviromental club, ect... they give lots of extra help. extra classes for math and english during school it's an actual class, the reason why it's only those subjects is becuase there's 2 big tests on those subjects.

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.
