I had 3 kids come through this school, I have been through the time of the re-districting and new principal , I do have to say the teachers are very good here, of course some do not belong just like all schools have a few teachers who should not be teaching. I think the principal is excellent,as for the administration , the women in the office are not very happy or friendly , I have been involved with this school for 10 years now and still have a child in the school, education wise very good, I do however think they need to lighten up on the kids in the lunch room and hallways as far as talking and socializing on free time it is sad the schools took away the fun of being in school.

Had two kids go to this school - 4 years apart. Not happy with administration, the women in the office are unfriendly and could care less if they make you wait. Can't wait to be done with this school!

Very good advisors, very concerned and active principal, but a large and somewhat institutional school. Very regimented, no time for interaction between classes, which was a problem for my child coming from a small private school.

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.
