Posted May 20, 2011

As a former student, I must say that this school is spiraling down the drain. Many of the teachers will teach for only 10 or 15 minutes. The rest of the time is spent shooting the breeze with the "favorite students," usually talking about who the starting lineup will be at the basketball game that night, or why the band does the football programs, or something else irrelevant to the subject matter. If I hadn't taken it upon myself to learn the subject on my own I'd be lost in the real world, like many other students I went to school with. I would hope that the situation has improved since the good old days, but probably not. -former student

I graduated from Cold Spring in 1969. It was a great school. I've kept up with their games through out the years and still think they have a great school there. It may be a small one but sometimes small is better.
