The faculty at SES is fabulous! The teaching level is state-of-the-art right down to the music lab. Mentoring, not just academia, but also intellect, character, confidence, self-discipline, high regard, self-esteem, respect (for all including self), hard work, dedication, and drive - all the key components to success. The administration is concerned, involved, and interested in seeing each of it's students succeed. The office staff are cooperative, caring, helpful, and attentive to parent as well as student needs invaluable source as they efficiently run the day-to-day operations. And one cannot say enough about our PTA! We're a family community. It's all-for-one and one-for-all at Springville Elementary School. We're grateful for the experience.

Acadmically they do very well. Small school district. Great town to live in. Everyone if friendly. They have all the extracurricular activites, music, art, sports etc. Music they actually have twice a week. The PTA does so much for the school, fundrasing and activites for the kids such and winter fun day. So many parents get involved in this school. I love it! We will be moving out of the area and worried that I won't be able to find another school like Springville.

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.
