Excellent. We love this school and the whole district. We have many years teaching experience in a variety of schools. I taught in NYC and Chappaqua! This is the best you can get and at a bargain rate for your tax dollars!!!

There are some great teachers in this school, but an ineffective principal is what keeps this school from becoming great. This "leader" makes $150,000+ salary, and drives expensive cars, which shows how out of touch she is when almost half of the students in this building are considered "economically disadvantaged". Additionally, the principal treats certain teachers/staff with disdain and in an unprofessional manner; but will allow those she likes to get away with just about anything... these are not good characteristics of a strong leader. It's disgraceful and something needs to be done, but the district level administration won't do anything because they are just as corrupt. I would advise any family to stay far away from this school and Wappingers in general. They are behind the times, and will continue to be as long as these type of people remain in charge.

This is by far the WORST school my children have ever been in. Bullying is an ongoing thing and staff turns their heads and act like they have no clue what is happening. My daughters 2 years here were genuinely the worst 2 years of her life. She endured relentless bullying from students, and every single time we went to the principal Gregory Vandecarr, he reassured me and my husband that the school was going to take action promptly, and that was never ever done. The kids were never held accountable and never received discipline, and the problem was never spoken about ever again. And the bullying never stopped. The bullying got so bad that in 2024 my daughter tried to take her own life. I fully believe that if something had been done to stop those kids that would have NEVER happened. Teachers, guidance counselors, even the drivers of the school bus my daughter was getting bullied on never said a word to these kids. Teachers heard my daughter getting bullied, bus drivers heard it, my daughter went to her guidance counselor about the bullying, and NOTHING WAS EVER DONE. My daughter got pushed down the stairs by a girl, and her head slammed into the brick wall, and when she used her phone to alert me and my husband while she was at the nurse, the nurses scolded her for telling us and that “this is the reason we don’t allow phones in school, because you guys tell your parents before we have a chance to” mind you, my daughter had been in the office for an HOUR, when were you going to call us and tell us?!!! Never. They were trying to refuse me and my husband to pick her up from school to take her to the doctor because “she was fine and there wasn’t anything to be done”. This school is vile and should NOT have the awards for anti bullying and other things like they do. They are completely false and should be removed immediately.
