I love my sons school because after fighting for a year and a half with another area school he was finally tested here and is now receiving the help he deserves. The staff will go above and beyond to help their students families. They even helped me find after school care for my son. We love them!

My two children both attend this great school! The teachers, and the staff are very attentive and caring. My children love their teachers and their friends. The school staff are wonderful with the children and parents. There are many great opportunities for my children at Morrisonville!

In the lower grades (K, 1 & 2) the teachers are excellent. However, the teachers are so weak at the higher grades that I pulled my children out and home schooled them for those grades. Very few extra curricular activities and no money in the budget for field trips. No accelerated programs.

A high quality education, wonderfully developed school. Parents are informed on what is happening in the school. Which helps me understand my child s surroundings.

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.
