The staff overall is great but the head administrator leaves something to be desired in the way she handles some of the students. There needs to be advanced placement for certain curriculum, but that is a district-wide issue. Overall Fletcher is rated average in my book.

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.
