Ive been in this school since it opened almost 8 years ago and i can say that i am grateful that this school was built. this school is a really nice school. You would like going here a lot. the students connect with each other, the teachers are always understanding and this school has amazing leadership.

i attended this school from 4th grade until my 8th grade year. From the parents view this is one of the best schools out there but from the students view; well u just got to ask them; but for me it was a great experience. I learned so much that an average student doesnt know when they leave Junior High heading into High School. The teachers here are amazing and even though some may be hard on you at times they just want you to achive in life and make it out there. They see a Doctor or a Lawyer or something good in every student attendin there and they want to do their best to help with that. Also i gained lifetime friendships and never-forget-moments. Even teachers i've had became good friends. they really can connect wit you and are great to go to for help with anything.

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.
