My daughter attended Florence Brasser k-5, and it is a wonderful school. The teachers are caring and helpful, and work to maintain a community atmosphere with strong encouragement for parent involvement.

If you want your child to learn Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, don't go here. If you want your child to feel good about mediocrity, this is your school.

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.
