I have a never seen a school run so well. My kids went to school in the 1980's and as a new Dad I could not feel better about my child's education. The principal is hands on (and a great dresser) and the faculty have been great.

my child has attendend BAS since kindergarten. He was an inclusion child, although I found it successful for most of his time there, I was disappointed to see it removed. I felt in some of the grades the inclusion teacher should have felt a need to see that his/her students had more growth, since the teacher might have had only 3-4 students to attend too. I would like to see the inclusion program to continue only if administration keeps a closer eye on it. There is always room for improvement. The concept of the Inclusion Program is there, it is guidance that is needed. I think the district should reveiw its policy on inclusion versing resource room and come to a happy medium.

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.
