This school is a small (with preK through 12th grade all in one building) school. It has a wonderful pool and fitness center. Brand new huge science addition, state champ soccer players, and wonderful caring teachers. The campus is clean and well taken care of. You have poor families as well as rich families in the district but every child child is treated the same. I have 3 kids in this school. (2 already graduated and went on to college) They have wonderful speech and extra help programs. They own their own busses and they are clean and well maintained. They have a reverse calling system that keeps us parents informed of everything going on...from meetings to kids musical concerts. They have a resource officer in the school that the kids can go to for any problem. The staff is friendly. The kids all seem happy.

Cuyler Elementary is a poor,small district with the lowest paid teachers verses area schools.They offer a lot of 1 to 1 (and small group instruction) as well as a variety of support staff / classes for not only struggling students yet the advanced children as well,It is an excellent place to send our kids as safety, cleanliness, staff, and the overall conditions are superb.

I have three children that attend this school and both my husband and myself attended here. Small school with excellent teaching staff. Employees, students and administration take pride in our school grounds and facilities. Great community center as well.

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.
