TYWLS is an excellent school! I received a top notch education, one that I would have gotten in a private school, but for free. In TYWLS, I had access to opportunities that allowed me to learn, experience and figure what I wanted to achieve in the future. The teachers and the administration gave me the support and knowledge I needed to be succesful in college.

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.
