Brand new high school just being finished, so the age of the building being a 2013 build makes it state of the art. It will be interesting to see how the students and teachers find the new learning environment to be. That won't be known until next year after both students and faculty get settled in to the new building. It will be better after the old building demolition is completed and then grounds are finished. My oldest daughter graduated from Waterford High School last year and is doing very well in college and that speaks volumes about the effort the teachers and guidance counseling staff's ability to prepare our children for higher education.
The building is old with climate control issues and it's falling down (ceilings, walls and lavatories). The budget is being channeled to build a new school, but basic maintenance is not being done. Teachers are good, but how long can they keep positive attitudes and work in decrepit conditions? The curriculum is average and good students are not challenged to excel; the emphasis is on those who are not meeting standards.
I'm not impressed with this school at all. It has changed drastically since I was a student there. There are some teachers, that should not be working around children. I'm vey disappointed.
this school is one of the best with loving teachers and other member of staff they do all they can do for your kids
I would like to see Field Hockey and Lacrosse added to the sports extracurricular activities-a number of schools in Ct. have already included them.
