Most teachers do not read 504 plans or IEPs at all and cut accommodations for students. Asst principal does not believe in equal discipline for students and if you stand up for your student she will file false claims about you but ignore students being abused. The unspoken rule for staff is certain students do not get in-trouble no matter what they do and staff is so horrible that a lot of students fall through the cracks if they cannot stand up for themselves.

To give an update- both field hockey and lacrosse have been incorporated as official school sports. A new high school building was just recently opened in April of 2013. Ceilings, walls, and bathrooms are no longer falling apart; there is also much better climate control throughout the new school. The new resources for students are state of the art as well. The majority of the teachers here truly care and there is also a good selection of AP and honors courses for anyone to take. My one complaint is the little attention upperclassmen get when trying to search for and apply to college. You truly have to advocate for yourself if you feel as if you need help in this department. With about 900 student however, it is difficult for the four guidance counselors to give individualized attention to every student, a problem at at any larger school, private or public. Overall, Waterford High School and all Waterford Public Schools still get five stars, their public education system is one of the best.

We moved from the west coast and chose to reside in Quaker Hill due to the reputation of the school. No regrets.
