Every year, when we attend Grandparent's Day, we are so pleased that our grandchildren are so lucky to spend their learning years with such a great staff of teachers/principal, etc. Keep up the good work and A+++ for the talent show idea.


Posted January 28, 2005

I am very pleased with New Bloomfield Elementary. My daughter started attending the school in Kindergarten and is now in first grade. She has progressed so much since attending this school, she could not read when she started Kindergarten and now is reading high on her grade level thanks to the Reading Mastery program and the teacher s curriculum. The math lessons are also A+. Her teacher stresses that she makes the children's learning environment rich, enjoyable, and challenging, allowing the children to accomplish their greatest potential. The teachers are absolutely wonderful; the staff is all very caring and conscientious. They also have great science, music and art education and extracurricular activities, including an arts fest for K-12. I believe the level of parent involvement could be better, however, it is still very good. Overall, I find this to be one of the best schools around, 105%!

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.
