This is our first year here and WE love it! My son is in 8th grade and my daughter in 6th. Was nervous with a new school during a pandemic, but they both have done so well with making friends and with their academics. Both honor roll kids. The teachers and staff are always a pleasure to see and talk too. I am shocked with some of the above comments. My kids love that we moved from the Wappingers district! I could not have asked for a better result. Us living a block from the school and they can walk because of the quaint little town is a bonus!!

This school is terrible! The bullying is out of control! My child was attacked ( I saw the video ) he got suspended for 5 days! Same punishment as the bully ! Insane. Please reconsider as we have taken him out and enrolled in private school! Terrible, terrible, terrible school!

Great district caring staff. Wonderful small town experience. Many opportunities including a technology program where every student gets a laptop and tools they need to succeed. So happy we moved here.

Horrible school, horrible principal and horrible superintendent. Severe issues with discipline and favoritism. Also a lot of bullying going on. I would never reccomend this horrible school on my worst enemy. If you have a child enrolled here, I'd reccomend you transfer.

Not sure what the other parents are talking about. I have two children in the high school and they have had excellent, caring teachers and support staff. Both of my kids have excelled in academics and sports and established great relationships with friends, teachers & coaches. Discipline problems are infrequent, so unsure why unflattering comments would be made other than disgruntled parents with an axe to grind. The district has a solid, caring staff who have made my children's high school years successful and prepared them for college.

Just look at the stats. Poor district. Staff is terrible with serious discipline problems

Whatever people say about the disciplinary problems are wrong. They probably have children who are problematic and are trying to blame it on a wonderful school. The Special Education program could use some help, but otherwise this is a great school for kids to go to.
