This is one amazing school! I transferred my son from another district through the School Choice program. They are able to offer a full day KD program. The teachers are hardworking and dedicated, the child study team is readily available and the principal and vice-principal are student focused. Very impressed with the schools mission and vision.

my child worked very hard and the teacher gave a C-grade. We asked for explanation but he was unable to justify or explain why. Spoke with principle who promised to look into it but never got back to us. Grade stayed as is. Very unfair school. Could it be that we are not all american.

I really like ogdensburg school. My child is in 4rth grade and has mrs. Tackas. What a wonderfull teacher.! The teachers and staff are dedicated to helping the students. The vice principal is very understanding and does not stand for bullying and will work with the parents. Very involved pto, small school careing , and everyone knows everyone.Good child study team. I hope if you plan on moveing here that you will enjoy this school as much as we parents and students do. They offer lots of activities for the kids also.

One of the best schools ever! This school is wonderful. The staff is definitely involved and dedicated. I find that they want to help my son who is having difficulty. The vice principal is always available and willing to help. There is never a wait for help.
