8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot much has changed other than Principals since the 2005 review. Same clique of aides and a number of teachers who need to retire. This school is sub-par at best. Many children in this town are home or private schooled. One plus is the parental involvement that is welcomed there, as long as they are in good favor with the ruling clique or have a tough skin and do not care! Huge taxes for a small (~100 kids) school that does not produce children that can think, read or write. So sad!Parent Review15y ago - Mount Abraham Uhsd #28

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'll start by saying that this school has a FEW outstanding teachers. However, for the most part, it's not a good school. My children come home telling me that they are bored in class, some of the teachers yell at the entire class on a regular basis, I've experienced teachers being very defensive when I question why my child was disciplined and others doing the same thing were not. There is a huge bully problem. Teachers see things in class and look the other way. Communication with parents is terrible! I don't know about things until after the fact and I read the newsletters and check powerschool which is never up to date. If you want a good education and school experience for your kids, don't send them there.Parent Review11y ago
