The staff who devote themselves to the students and families in this school are absolutly amazing! They are open and willing to work with you and your student to acheive the best possible outcome. Their dedication is unparalled to anything I have seen in a school so far. They even go so far as to give you their cel phone numbers and are always availiable to answer questions. They support the students in numerous ways including staying after school to assist in studies, create programs to help the students organize themselves and find innovative ways to teach. There is not as much parent involvement but I feel that parents become less involved as their children go through the higher grades.

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.
