A terrific school, great students and staff. However, many of the parents are entitled, demanding, and overly involved.

All the teachers and staff at the school seem so happy to be there. Parents are highly involved and support the school. Teachers have been responsive and communicative. Love the school!

A wonderful school, where teachers, staff and students all seem to be positive and friendly. My kindergartner who needs some extra support is getting huge amounts of attention feels loved and valued. I couldn't be happier.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Pennsylvania used the Pennsylvania System of State Assessments (PSSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in math and reading, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The results for reading, writing, science and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The PSSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Pennsylvania. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
