I went to this school from september 2000 to June 2005 and have nothing but good to say on behalf of this school. Museum 25 prepared me well I learned all basic skills needed to suceed. I moved on to go to pearls hawthorne and graduated two weeks ago. None of that would be possible without the help and support of all the faculty and staff. Every teacher I got in Museum pushed me and encouraged me to be the best me I could be. - Kimberly Wright age 14

This school is a definate 5 star.. I have been dealing with school 25 for over 15 years and have three kids. The teachers are very dedicated to the students and many have remained since my oldest attended this shool back in 1993. The principal is very hands on and takes the time to get to know each kid and parent. If strong work ethics is what you want--then this is your school.

The quality of instruction offered in the Pre-K program is top notch. Caring teachers and meaningful activities have really aided our child's development. The school community consistently offers activities to draw the community in to the school. The high visibility of the principal and excellent programs put on by the students are bonuses.

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.
