DescriptionEDUCATION - ALL STUDENTS WERE ASSESSED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WHICH SHOWED THAT MORE THAN 73% OF THE INCOMING STUDENTS, GRADES K-2, WERE READING BELOW GRADE LEVEL. BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, THIS PERCENTAGE WAS REDUCED TO ONLY 41%. THE REMARKABLE ACADEMIC GAINS WERE ATTRIBUTED TO THE HIGH TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIO, INCREASED ACADEMIC RIGOR, SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS AND FAMILY INVOLVEMENT. WITH SMALL CLASS SIZES, A RIGOROUS CURRICULUM ALIGNED WITH THE NYS COMMON CORE LEARNING STANDARDS, AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS, THE SCHOOL DEVELOPES AN EXCEPTIONAL FOUNDATION OF LITERACY SKILLS FOR ALL STUDENTS. IT IS A PLACE WHERE DIVERSITY IS CELEBRATED, INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES ACCEPTED, AND STUDENT SUCCESS IS MAXIMIZED.Description
