Peoples Academy

Excellent school! My child was well prepared for college and had many opportunites to develop leadership skills.

This school is certainly not the best place to send your kid.. The two biggest flaws in this school though are definitely the discipline system and of course the mentally gifted program. Not enough kids are mentally gifted for them to spend much money on it. There are a lot of fights too.

I am embarrassed to say that I have attended this school. This is the worst school I have ever been to. There are many drug related problems and bullying. Also, the community itself is awful, very boring, small town with many troublesome kids. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

This school is absolutely awful! All of the students are very rude, and do not care about their grades. There is a lot of negative peer pressure and it is very hard to find a good group of friends. The teachers don't seem to notice bad behavior either and intelligent kids are grouped with less intelligent kids.

Absolutely terrible school. I attended this high school myself and can tell you it was the worst 4 years of my life. The students are down right disrespectful and the teachers do nothing to stop it. You can easily pass by doing minimal work. Yes that seems like a good thing to pass easily but not really since the students don't get a good education. This school has a lot of drug related problems also. They really need to check the backgrounds of the teachers a lot better. I feel ashamed to say I went to this joke of a "school".

One of the better high schools in Vermont. Lots of technology available for students use. Limited but strong technology program (only one tech. teacher, but he's good). Teachers are good. Strong athletic programs. Seem to always have budget issues. Cut several positions due to budget. New principal.

I like the atmosphere and think that the new principle is a great addition and give the school more life.
