This school is absolutely HORRIBLE. My son is a special ed student and the first day of school he got detention and the 2nd day he was suspended for a week. I will NEVER let my son go back to this school. I have been told my other parents that the principal treats the kids bad if they don't like the parent. This is my 2nd child that went to this school that I had nothing but problems with this school. I tell all parents that I talk to that this is a bad school, maybe one day they will get the priorities straight.

This is great school with a caring and dedicated faculty, staff and administration. High expectations for academics and behavior.

The academics at this school are fine,there are not many extracurricular activities unless your chosen to be in a play.Parents play a big part in the school,almost to the point of who's running it,very clicky.Overall this is a good school academically,they should offer more after school activities.

This is the best of what a school should be. We are welcoming a new principal and I am certain she will continue the integrity of the school. I am proud to have my daughter in this 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.
