Posted January 19, 2008

I truly feel that attending Mayfield school helped me become the person that I am today. I was able to graduate with several scholarships and honors and am now attending college. Going to Mayfield, my teachers didn't just teach me the material in text books; they taught me how to think and how to make important moral decisions for myself. I am so thankful for the education that they gave me.

This school is the greatest! I was a trouble maker and Mayfield help clean up my act and get great grades I actually enjoyed going to school everyday!

Mayfield has certainly proven to be a school district full of dedicated teachers and staff.We moved from a school district in the South were math standards were not as high. The teachers took the time to get my child up to speed. With their hard work and ours it took no time at all. A great advantage to a small school district is the time and care that is given to all the students. We feel very fortunate to be in Mayfield school district

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.
