The problems at this school are many. They begin with a shortsighted, penny pinching taxpayer base that inadequately funds the school district. This is a town that prides itself above all on low taxes. We actually once heard a resident at a BOE meeting debate gifted-program funding with a parent, asking why her tax dollars should help the other resident’s kid become a doctor! As if we don’t ALL benefit from doctors!! The school board is always looking to cut corners and does not invest in excellence. The high school Bedminster kids attend once had a wonderful International Baccalaureate program that was a casualty of this mentality and that of neighboring towns. Class sizes have been increasing and test scores are decreasing - not a good combination!! And woe to the parents of kids with any special ed needs, because these people will make your life impossible and your kid’s life miserable before they give them the help they need (if they ever do). They have had more than their share of lawsuits and out of district placements. And since even teachers and administrators are bullies, don’t expect much help from them when kids bully other kids. It will take a complaint to the state to make anything change. There are some wonderful teachers here, for sure, but mostly the faculty are complicit in a toxic culture that starts at the top and infects everything here. None of this is what you might expect from a town as blessed as Bedminster is, but there you have it, the sad reality. Buyer beware! You might want to buy that house in the higher-taxed town and save yourself the trouble of raising your kids in this one.
