Posted September 19, 2010

I visited this school with my son who is on the spectrum but very high functioning. We visited over the summer when there weren't any students present in the building. I was blown away by the building itself and the grounds and the atmosphere so I accepted a spot there for my son. Once kids are there, it is a COMPLETELY different environment. The type of child that makes up the majority of this school struggles with severe behavior issues and a portion of the population is made up of "residential" students who live on site. The unstructured way things are run there might be necessary for these types of students, but in my son's case, I felt it was a negative and almost dangerous environment for him. Great teachers... but visit when the students are present for a more accurate picture of what the school is about.

This school has it's own little community where it clicks with a 'certain kind'. The more you give the church the better the school will love you??

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.
