This school is very poor. Some of the teachers are good and some aren t. They don t care if the student is learning or not. They only help good students, because these students don t need help if you know what I mean. The program is VERY poor as well. Not too many options or variety for kids to do extra-curricular activities. Furthermore, the main problem of this school is THE PRINCIPAL. In short, if she does not like your child, if your child is not a star the poor kid will have it very rough. She will be on their back all the time, like a hawk; Instead of helping your child will become a target, making their life miserable. I really regret having my kid in this school, I had the chance to register in Goshen High School but went for this school just for convenience. Goshen HS has a better program, more activities, more kids and a bigger budget, therefore better school. Do yourself a favor and don t send your kid to this school.

This school like any other has its positive and negative aspects. I like that the students get one on one attention and rarely fall between the cracks like in many larger school districts. The teachers for the most are great and willing to offer extra help when needed. The staff is helpful and willing to help with anything needed, The principal sometimes leaves a lot to be desired with his cocky attitude. Class sizes are small and

My daughter just graduated from this school. Newly built, small class sizes, was two of the reason we decided to move to the area. I would recommended the school to parents that are looking for a small community school for their children.

I love this school because of it's small size. My children get one on one attention and are never treated like a number. They have some great teachers and some not just like every other school. Because the school is small all the kids get along and work well together.It is truly a special place to learn.

I like this school for my child because it is a very small school and my child gets a lot of one on one help. You are not a number at this school because of the size it is. Also the teachers take their time and teach the kids really well.
