I LOVE King Street School. My duaghter is going into 2nd grade in the Fall and she has feel in love with everyone that is at King Street. She is excited to go to school everyday as they really make school fun.

The teachers at King Street School are very dedicated to each individual student's needs. The Principal is very involved with every aspect of daily student life. The variety of afterschool programs offered target all interests. The PTA does an excellent job of keeping the parents informed of everything that is happened not only at the school but in the community.

I have no regrets in sending my two children to this school. The teachers are terrific and the principal runs a tight ship. She knows every student by name and ensures a clean, safe, academic environment. The PTA is organized and well-run. My children are happy and so am I.

I'm an Ex-student of this school, and it is great! It is much better than a regular school it is a fun and unique school! All the teachers are fun and nice, your kid will make many friends here and he will learn not only school subjects, but life lessons too! It's a great school and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for schools!

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.
