The school is good for people who want to agricultural stuff. I personally didn't enjoy the school because it's not something I want to do. The campus is open and mostly outdoors, so if your not planning on traveling through the freezing cold, snow, and pouring rain I wouldn't come here. The school doesn't supply the kids with proper lockers either. All we get are small square locker inside random classrooms throughout the school and we're not allowed to go to them at all during the day which is really annoying. A lot of the kids are emo, goth, or just dress to look as if they're depressed making the influence from others not to happy. The majority of teachers there aren't to friendly either unless your dressed like the styles above. A lot of them are rude and stuck-up to the students in the hallways although there are a few nice teachers.

I love the curriculum of sciences that contribute to a healthier environement and planet and the fact that this school is situated on 166 acres of beautiful land. The students spend their agricultural days outside in the fresh air. The school meal menu is healthy and offers many different nutritious choices for the students. The staff and faculty are part of a team with the student and parent to create an environment of success for it's student body. I love Essex Aggie and so does my son!

This school is excellent for anyone who wants an education outside the norm. The campus is large and has beautiful areas, including forests, ponds, and a hill you can see Boston from on a clear day. The staff is warm and friendly, and also extremely helpful.

I am a current student at this school. Just about every student wants to be at school everyday, and the dedication of the students is amazing. The agricultural programs are very well taught. They assist students in preparing for their careers in the Animal Science, Plant Science, or Environmental Science field. The academic courses range from basic level to honors and AP levels. The teachers are great, and there are lots of extracurricular activities, and sports.
