What a disappoint this school has been. The school is fine if your child is well-adjusted and needs no help in any way. If your child is shy or falls on the other end of the spectrum and needs help redirecting energies, this school is a complete failure. As is so often the case, problems like this arise from poor leadership. This leadership could not be more poor. Parents don't want to be involved because they just can't wait to get out of the school. The only redeeming factor is that the school is only a two year school.

This school is awesome - plenty of extracurricular activities and projects, opportunities to study musical instruments and language, and a positive, supportive environment with individualized instruction

This is a great school, mostly nice teachers, and from what my daughter tells me, lots of fun, educational field trips and other exciting activities.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Vermont used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing and grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP reading, math, and writing tests are given in the fall and test students on content taught in the previous year. The science portion of the NECAP is administered in the spring each year. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Vermont. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
