My son attends P.S. 133, it is his first year in the school. Its the closest school that offers collaborative teaching. My son has gym everyday and receives speech therapy 3 times a week. I am happy with his progress in the school. The school takes some getting use to, some of the children are a little unruly when they pass through the halls. Overall I like my sons teachers they seem to be very dedicated in creating a safe and structured environment for the kids. The school offers 3 training classes that certifies parents to be official school volunteers. There are prep classes for higher grades that have to take standardized test. I am still learning about the school and we keep parents posted on any new findings. On a scale of 1-10, i would give the school a 7.

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.
