All of my children have attended Round Hill Elem. I thought it was the best one in the district, until one of my children needed special services for help in reading. Since then, it's been a nightmare. A few teachers, as well as all administrators, are incapable of providing a proper education. All special education classes within the district are now concentrated at Round Hill and they are most certainly not up to the task. As I said all of my children have gone and/or graduated to/from this school, I am actively involved, and I would be remiss if I didn't sing the praises of an amazing and committed teaching staff and kudos to the PTA. Unfortunately, not all of the staff is there to give a child a due and proper education!

My daughter will be has been a Round Hill student since kindergarten, and is looking forward to September as a 5th grader! The PTA at Round Hill is very involved in making this school a fun place to be. The teachers are also involved in every aspect of instilling the children with a love for learning. I am truly impressed how all of the teachers from k-5 walk their classes to the buses everyday, and see to it that each student gets on his/her bus...everyday, every child..that sends another positive message to a child!

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.
