Great school experience for our kids. Administration has made great effort to provide academic and other opportunities for deserving kids.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 16, 2003

SCS has provided my children with a very good education to date (3rd and 6th grade). SCS is small enough to provide the individual attention when needed and the staff is attentive to each students needs.

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.
