It hasn't been a good fit for our family. If you like small-town schools and don't mind the lack of diversity, have kids that excel at sports and grades then this place will probably be great for you. But if you're kind of a non-traditional kind of family, a little quarky, not really into the sports thing....you may not like it very much.

We have three kids here now and each of them are doing really well. We chose this school because of the incredibly small class sizes, supportive teaching staff and administrators, and the community feel. It's great to also have our middle schoolers and elementary schooler in the same place on the same bus schedule! The sports and activities are somewhat limited (there are only 3 sports) but they welcome all comers and have a full schedule and good support, especially basketball. Our kids love it at Sackets and as parents we have been very pleased overall. It's like having your kids at a relatively small private school but with the support services of NY state.

Our grandchildren attend here and have been warmly received by staff and students, even though they are ethnic minorities. We like the small class sizes and individual attention. Our only complaint is that the district web site often (maybe always?) doesn't work, so we can't see the calendar to know when our kids will have vacations. It's surprising that such a good school district would now have a way to communicate this online.

Our two daughters attended this school and have excelled at college after graduation. The faculty and staff at this school work hard to help all of the students.

I have three children in this school and two have some modifications to their curriculum to help them. There is a surprising amount of diversity given it is a k-12 in a rural farming area of northern New York. Due to Ft. Drum, there are not only biracial students, black stidents, but also hispanic and asian students. With only 400 kids in the entire school, its pretty impressive that there is any diveraity. The military is extremely welcomed and celebrated at the school, and the new kids are always introduced by their classmates at assemblies to help welcome them and include them. The staff is great, from the secrwtaries in the office to the custodians and teachers and support staff. People are genuinely friendly, the PTO is one of the most involved ive ever experienced as a parent or student and there are great supports in place to help with homework, tutoring and mentoring. The Principal and Superintendant are very involved, approachable and look to resolve any problems that arise within the school. I wouldnt want my kids going to school anywhere else and it is the main reason I would not move anywhere else while my children are school aged. To the negative comments posted, I am not sure their assessments were fair. I am not an insider in the community with a certain last name, yet have never experienced someone elae getting favoritism or preferential treatment in any meaningful way (i.e. classrooms, extra curriculur, etc). Highly recommended!
