ARC-Ulster County-Brookside School

This school has changed drastically for the worse. So much staff turnover, no counselor, 3 different assistant administrators in 3 years. Curriculum is hard to pin down. Signed up with reading support offered, it was removed from program after one year. When students struggle parents are told to find and pay for outside tutoring, high tuition doesn’t seem to cover academics or social belonging. Progressive education seems to mean students can choose to not participate and teachers choose to look the other way and call it “choice”. Bullying is treated same as student engagement- it’s ignored. Recent graduates are not prepared for high school.
