GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son has an IEP and attends Penna ave school for the last 2 years.. His teacher, Mrs. Cottone is a very dedicated teacher who is very much on top of his progress, much more than I am able to be. The security at the school is great and it's a great neighborhood.
