Glenmont Elementary is a great foundation that helps build a strong core to each and every student individually. The teachers are dedicated to the school & students. Students have the amazing opportunity to learn in an environment that is enriched with high educational programs. The school works hard in providing special events throughout the year which enforce additional educational, social & family time. Glenmont Elementary offers a well structured & balanced home for our students. I am a proud parent who can not ask for a more rounded & safe environment for my children to be a part of! Thank you Glenmont Elementary. You bring smiles to my family each & every day :-)

This is our children's third school in not very many years as a result of moves. We could not be happier with the welcome our children received and the outstanding professionalism of our gifted teachers. Students are held to a high standard of behavior and academic performance. Thank you, Glenmont Elementary School!

I love Glenmont Elementary School because of the wonderful teachers, the administration (including counselors and nurse), and, of course, our wonderful PTA. Between all these people, my daughter is greatly cared for, is getting a terrific education, and is learning how to care for herself, her peers, and the world and environment around her. I thank them all for their dedication and devotion to all the children in Glenmont!!

Glenmont has been a fabulous school for my children. The staff & faculty are very involved in the nurturing and growth of each individual child. Both of my children have had special needs assessments and the support offered by the district has been above and beyond what we expected. I recommend this elementary school completely with whole-hearted support.

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.
