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.

This is a fantastic school. The principal, vice principal , teachers and the administration work like a well oiled machine. They are all available to have a chat with toh or work with you in weekdays and weekends even. Focus on academics is exemplary and teachers are so supportive. Amazing school!!!

PS99 is such a great little elementary school. Housed in two separate buildings (one for younger K-2, and one for 3-6), the admin does a fantastic job at providing quality instruction both in and out of the classrooms. The principal is very communicative, and accessible. As a parent, I know he cares...
