I love everyone and everything about this school. At all times there is someone ready to help or direct you to someone that can help you. My grandson will be entering the fourth grade this year. The teachers are all excellent and because of that my grandson is in the Tag program. The principle and his staff do an excellent job. The prnciple and assistant principle are hands on. They know all of their students Simply the Best!!!!!!.

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.
