Not great. We tried meeting with the teachers and school psychiatrist and principal, to no avail. I have heard the same from other parents as well.

I would not agree that Cahill is a great school. There seems to be a perception that the principal is awesome. Not in my experience. It seems that there is an inordinate amount of work left for the parent to do because the teachers cannot handle it. Not their fault as the ratio of students to teachers in K is 23:1. ridiculous!

Cahill schools are wonderful. The principal is involved in many after school programs with the children. She is firm but more than fair. She is exactly what children need to learn life lessons. The school is so great that the teachers send their own children there which says a lot to me. many of the teachers grew up in the saugerties community. this isn't just a school but it is a family. They treat your child as they treat their own. I have though of moving because of high village taxes but have chosen not to so that my children can grow up going to a school that provides them with a sense of community. This school gives them a great education and teaches them about being a productive member of society and about caring for your planet. Their PTA is currently raising money for a playground. The PTA is welcoming of newcomers and always need extra help as they do so much for the community as well as the school. This school is the hometown local school you dream about for your children.
