applications for the 2011-12 school year for children
residing in the district who will turn four years old on or before December 1, 2011.
This program does not require income eligibility.

New
York State Report Cards
Each spring, the New York State Department of Education
releases various statistics and information about NYS
school districts (e.g., enrollment figures; annual
results on Regents examinations, Regents Competency
Tests and ELA, math and science state test results,
etc.) from the previous school year, to help to keep the
public informed about the performance of public schools.
To view current and past NYS school report cards for
Johnstown (or any other school district), please visit
www.nystart.gov/publicweb/
Local Government Financial Data Available Online
The New York State Comptroller's Office makes local government financial data
available through their
Open Book New York Web site. The site contains
revenue and spending data for more than 3,100 counties,
cities, towns, villages, schools and fire districts
dating back to 1996 and is intended to be updated quarterly.
The data is from local government financial reports
filed with the Division of Local Government and School
Accountability.
Practice Tests Online at Local Libraries
The Johnstown Public Library now has access to online
databases that help students practice for a variety of
tests, such as Firefighter and Real Estate exams, GED,
SAT, ACT and GRE exams, grammar and math skills, and
much more. The database is called Practice Tests from
Learning Express Library, which can be found by visiting
Johnstown Public Library’s public access catalog at
www.mvls.info. The practice tests can be found in
the “Databases” link under the “Education” section, off
of the homepage. The process is so simple — the sample
tests can be accessed by using your library card. If you
only have a short amount of time to take an online test,
you can save your work and revisit it later, what a
great resource!
