I have three children in Weedsport Elementary and they all love going to school, even my little son, who has a hard time staying focused came home from his first day of Kindergarten and told me how much he liked school!!! Kudos to all the teachers and staff, they do such a wonderful job. As parents we all naturally worry about our children's performace and behavior while we're not around, I can honestly say that I feel comfortable sending them off everyday and I know that they are getting teh best education and the postiivie attention they need.

I have been born and raised in Weedsport and I cannot tell you what a great community it is. The school district is amazing and the teachers and staff are so dedicated to make the students happy along with getting an outstanding education. I will live in weedsport my whole life just so my children will be able to go to this school. I can keep going on and on about this school but all i can say is they deserve to win this more than anything.

My daughter completed her elementary years at W.E.S. and absolutely loved the teachers, the principal and all the staff. As parents, we could not have wished for more communicative and enthusaistic people to teach our daughter. All her teachers are marvelous people. A 10 out of 10!

We recently moved into the Weedsport School District and couldn't be more happy. Our son, Aidan, is in First Grade and his teacher Mrs. Ashby truly cares about his education and shows the intelligence and empathy required to enhance our childs reading, math, and science skills. Aidan has adjusted to his new school and looks forward to his homework thanks to the protocall and excellence the Weedsport School District sets forth in its teaching staff.

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.
