The rating system here needs to be divided between teachers and administration. The teachers here for the most part are excellent so far. We moved to this area at the beginning of this year, and found 7th grade to be similar to what we were used to in a different state, except for the second language requirement. NY state schools require a second language, which doesn't make sense to me, especially for kids with learning disabilities. I would give the teaching staff a B+, the administration (upper level) a D. The administrative staff seems to think they know more about my child than I do, which I will never defer to. I hope next year the high school is more parent friendly than the administration at the middle school is. Great teachers, terrible admins.

This school doesn't care to involve parents at all! They rather patronize their parents and do everything they need to to save money. Parents concerns are never acknowledged and parents are told they are overreacting. It's been like this for 4 to 5 years. Teaching staff/ Administration think they know child better then their own parents.

This is a small rural central school, yet they manage to attract and keep great and dedicated teachers. They are not large enough to offer many AP or G&T course, but the teachers work to provide customized opportunities for the students. My six siblings and I all received a great high school education there as did many of my nieces and nephews. They have the wisdom to help guide young people into good career tracks for them, not just "everyone should go to college."

Doesn't work well for students with learning disabilities unless you become a pain in their butt. Most teachers try their best and are very open to parent teacher communication.
