Overall, though, it was a nice smaller school. All before and after school care was very costly, though, another disappointment and something that is higher than other areas, even surrounding cities/towns.
The school had events for the parents to attend quite often which was nice, including Muffins with Moms, Doughnuts with Dads, Halloween parties, and more. We made many good memories there!
For being a smaller school, I was concerned by the bullying that occurred. My son was bullied quite a bit and it continued on the whole two years, even after meetings between school officials and parents and students. Also, my son was belittled by a teacher there, and his class was taught by a substitute for most of the year, which was shocking especially in NYS, where teacher credentials are thought of to have higher standards.
The kids loved the playground - it was a lot of fun and even visited by neighborhood families after school hours. There's a cafeteria, auditorium, and gym, something I find most schools lacking in other parts of the country. Also, they offered instruments in fourth grade, another local offering that I haven't found in other areas.
My kids went to school here for 2 years, ranging from Kindergarten-Third Grade (they're 2 years apart). There were positives and negatives but overall it was more positive.
Fond memories of this school.
