Description
855 Five Mile Drive is one of the last remaining original Tompkins county schoolhouses from the turn of the last century. Built in 1905, It was known as County School 3, and the house retains many of the beautiful features from the original school, including oak trim, glass windowed doors, and a real bell in the belfry that you can ring. It features 11 foot ceilings, and tall windows which admit a considerable amount of light, which reflect off of the original maple flooring ( which was recently refinished ).
The house has been upgraded with considerable attention to weatherproofing, including wall and attic insulation, and replacement of nearly all of the windows with high efficiency double pane pella units. It is a very quiet, energy efficient and warm place.
The house features a japanese Ofuro style tub, which is served by a continuous on demand water heater. But for water lovers, in the summer, the Cayuga inlet is another choice. It is mere steps away, and a secluded swim in the creek among the evening fireflies of july is not to be missed.
If you enjoy hosting, the house features an enormous deck above a workshop.
The surrounding property includes a wetlands to the north ( with peepers ), an industrial swingset, a fenced garden ( to keep the deer out!), mature peach trees, some edible grapes on the vine, and a large lawn.
This is a unique and special property in a unique and special town!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had a great extra Caroline. Maybe kids attended from K-5th. Small class sizes (my sons K class had only 12 kids!) mean lots of teacher-student interaction. Teachers engage the kids with interesting projects and they use the outdoor nature campus for many learning opportunities. The principal was great too. All around a fantastic school!Parent Review3y ago - Beverly J Martin Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn comparison to other elementary schools of the ICSD, BJM is a truer reflection of inclusion and cultural diversity. If you want your child to learn how to appreciate difference in gender, race, socioeconomic status, ability, and be exposed to a myriad of ways of thought, I would encourage you to consider this school.Other Review7y ago - Dewitt Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEnfield is an awesome school. The class sizes are small, teachers are enthusiastic and supported by their administrators and there is a real sense of community. There is a curriculum centered around gardens and farming. There’s a creek and sledding hills and kids spend a lot of time outside year round.Parent Review3y ago - Fall Creek Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible culture at this school. Not only do the administrators not care about the students, but the student activities director prevents activities. There is 1-2 dances a year depending on grade, and almost no other events. The counselors provide very limited support to most students and it is very hard to reach them. This school promotes a school-first, everything else-second approach to learning, which leaves many students in a terrible mental state. The teachers for the most part are good. A lot of them care about what they are teaching and care about the students, but it doesn't reflect on the curriculum. The workload is ridiculous. Many students go home every day with 3-4 hours of homework. This school is fine to attend if you can handle the constant stress they put on you, with many teachers even assigning work over break, preventing you from getting any real break until summer. Forget the scores, the acceptance rates, and the "great academic programs." This school will leave a bad mark on any child.Student Review1y ago - Northeast Elementary School
- K-5

- 347 Students
7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe first parent teacher conference we had with my son's first grade teacher was the teacher just showing us apps for almost every subject that he and his classmates were using. Having kids who went through NE years ago, I can compare that the conferences we used to have with teachers were about curriculum, behavior, my child's progress, etc. It was so weird to be shown screen after screen of apps. I have definitely noticed that my son's attention span has worsened since starting at NE, and we don't do tech at home.Parent Review2y ago - South Hill School
- PK-5
- Public
- 363 Students
8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSouth Hill has provided a great educational and social experience for my kid in the two years we've been there. Classes are small, teachers are committed, there is a great number of aides supporting teachers, and there is good social-emotional support. We have experience some minor level of bullying that has been addressed strongly and assertively by leadership, including direct involvement of the Principal who is very approachable and involved in all school matters. Infrastructure is great, there are plenty opportunities for parent involvement as well, and the school is generally well run.Parent Review1y ago - Cayuga Heights Elementary

- 270 Students
9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teacher should stop telling the students that they don’t need to go to college. The students should make that decision at the right time in high school. The teacher should focus more on the learning.Parent Review8mo ago
