Nice building, nice teachers...... class sizes are just too big (but 'normal' these days in schools) A lot of socioeconomic differences in the school. Development kids play with each other and not the poorer kids.

I have one child that has attended this school K.-4th grade. The teachers have been great. Where extra help is needed, they go the extra mile. My child has serious health problems and the nurse and Principal (along with other staff) have gone above and beyond to make sure my child has not fell behind in school work, while also making sure that he is as 'normal' as can be. They involve the parents any chance they get, which helps build a strong school and a strong student. Thumbs up Trum!!

If you are different then the rest you will not be accepted at this school. You are expected to conform and keep quiet about who you are. A teacher took my child aside and told my child that it was not his business to tell the truth. As far as the principal, he did not welcome us since we came late in the year. Only as a last resort should you go to this school.

We have two children in this school. They are very different but both have had an outstanding experience at this school. A positive attitude is purported by the principle and embraced by all of the teachers.

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.
