I give parent involvement a 2 stars because, parents are usually rushed through phone calls and meeting. they try there best to get there point across and limit parent input. so parent involvement is almost does not exist here. This school is 1 of 4 in New York State where teachers don't want to be evaluated or held accountable for their classrooms. The school has lost 500,000 in aid because of it.

Being a transferred student to fallsburg, it wasnt that bad. The kids there acept you and dont judge you. There is a wide range of races there and they all get along. The teachers help out alot. But the only down side was the attitude the kids have. It would be good with out it.

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.
