Excellent school and excellent teachers
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 11, 2008

The staff is excellent. Some teachers are horrible to both students and parents. The principal and AP's are great. Always felt they put the children first - however, I am starting to realize it's not the children who come first - it's the State Tests that matter more not to get the lower grade.

The faculty and teachers are wonderful. Extracirricular activities need to be added. Children need outlets and sports, dancing, drama is just what they need.

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.
