CTESLIU teachers provide a personal touch which can not be compare to any other school. All teachers are trustworthy and go above and beyond of what is expected from them and treat their students as if their own. I can tell by the progress my child displays daily. What we thought once was impossible with a child with DS, my wife and I see as hope. Thank you CTES/LIU!!!!!!!

My son has had a very positive experience at CTE. His teacher and all the teachers I have interacted with are very positive and really care about the students. There is an active teacher representation at every PTO meeting. The principle is outstanding! He sets the tone for the entire school and makes everyone feel welcome.

CTE is an excellent school with overworked, underpaid staff. The teachers, secretaries, and administrative staff go beyond the call of duty to educate and help our children. Teachers and parents are the back bone of America's future generations. We should do more as a community CTE. We should donate money, even just a few dollars, at the end of each school year to the teachers. If every parent would contribute to their childs teacher it would add up to a nice collective gift.

CTE is a typical rural school. Each class has about 28 students and each grade has at least one teacher that is excellent. The administration is very involved, the children have access to many programs during the school year and fun activities. Unfortunately, they have a new math program- Everyday Math- that has been rated as one of the worst by many experts, teachers and parent organizations. It is convoluted, difficult for the kids to understand and doesn't require the basics math concepts. So much so, they had to modify the report card to disguse this fact. Enjoy homework nightmares that include our child breaking down, crying and screaming? This is the math program for you! The PTO contributes financially to school programs. The building is clean, was recently remodeled to insure safety and install air conditioning. Phys Ed, Art, Music are available each week. They also have intervention and HI classes.

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.
