Eastern York High School

My oldest son has gone to Canadochly since he was in Kindergarten. With the exception of one teacher who we had issues with, his other teachers have all been exceptional. My youngest son started this year and is in Kindergarten now. He loves his teacher and has learned a lot from her. There's a lot that I love about this school. It's small and the staff is great about learning all the kid's names and even getting to know all the parents. When I come into the office, I don't even have to tell them my child's name because they know right away who my child is. Previous teachers that my oldest child had are constantly asking me how he is and how he's doing and remember him by name. The school always supplies everything my kids need at the beginning of the year. I haven't had to shop for school supplies the entire six years my kids have attended Canadochly. The only thing I've had to purchase are a few 3 ring binders since they have a habit of tearing and ripping. But pens, pencils, crayons have all been supplied to my children every year that they've attended Canadochly.The PTO puts on a really nice May Fair each year for the children. They have activities throughout the year that the kids can participate in. While there could always be more, I think the PTO does a great job with the activities they do plan and the field trips that they help fund. Now, my gripe. This school has no air conditioning. It gets darn hot in there. I felt awful sending my children into that at the beginning of the school year when I knew how hot it was going to be. I went to back to school night and honestly thought I was going to pass out from the heat. While I hate to see the school incur the expense for air conditioning for just 1-2 months of use, I wish there was something that could be done to cool the rooms when there is excessive heat days. All in all though, Canadochly has treated us well. My kids love the school and most of the teachers. Issues had been dealt with right away for the most part. And supplies seem to be in good shape for use. My oldest leaves this year for Eastern Middle School so I'm hoping they are as good.

My children transferred out after multiple bullying attacks went unanswered by witnessing teachers and school administrative staff. The ranking of this school was falsely inflated.

If your child is compliant and fits within their mold, this is a good Christian option. If your child has any special need, forget it. They say they will be accommodating but ultimately they are seeking complete compliance from every student. The educational component is average. Facility is old and far below average. Totally archaic approach to social and emotional development. Really disappointed.
