A great school, the art and music programs are excellent
—Submitted by a staff


Posted August 22, 2004

If you are a parent searching for a good school to send your kids to, Whitesville Central School is the best choice you could make. It's a small school without a lot of one-on-one teacher/student time, which makes for better learning. I have two girls currently enrolled in Whitesville Central and they are doing very well. They enjoy going to school and believe me, that's makes all the difference. There are kids out there who hate school and who have to be forced to go every day. You won't have that problem if you choose Whitesville Central. The teachers really care about the kids and the kids respect the teachers, that's something that most schools don't have. If you choose Whitesville Central, I guarantee that you will be so glad you did.

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.
