P.S. 155Q is a good school. I don't agree with the way some teachers work in this school. My son didn't get the help he needed from his teacher. He was always turned away by this fifth grade teacher and ended failing his state math test. She had 18 students in her class and this was an I.E.P. class. I hope she gets fired because she is not sutiable to be a teacher.

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.
