Cornwall Central High School is a rather classic high school. There's a big fight every now and then. There are cliques, but not much is ever going to change that aspect of high school. There are some spectacular teachers who go above and beyond for their students, and some who simply read off of the board. We have "internships" for seniors, where students can sign up to help a teacher during one of their free periods. The student-teacher relationships can be strong if students want them to be. That being said, our guidance department is not very strong, unless you are lucky enough to get randomly assigned the counselor I have. Juniors aren't pushed to look for colleges they'd be interested in, which is an issue if you don't have parents or older siblings encouraging you. The course selection is also minimal, with very little classes to take that aren't the ones required by the state and the AP versions of them.
A safe, competitive, and nurturing academic environment. Cornwall does have a tendency to put it's focus on the Athletics. However they have begun to notice it and are working to balance it. Art department could use more funding. They offer numerous events and clubs to students. Drama always puts on wonderful shows. Artist put up gallery shows. All departments and subjects are strong and supported. Teachers and all staff overall are kind and listen to students. The school focus's on anti drug and anti alcohol usage. I hope in the future they expand and focus on other subjects such as teen pregnancy, healthy relationships, sexual assault/consent, and LGTBQ+. A open minded and engaging environment. The town is wonderful to grow up in and the school properly prepares students for college. I am greatful to have grown up in Cornwall Central School District.
Cornwall was a really nice school to go to. We have really good school spirit and a beautiful school. However, several of the teachers were just poor teachers. I have to admit there is a handful of exceptional ones and a large sum of mediocre, but there is are quite a few teachers that I hate to say are older and probably don’t want to change anything about what they have been doing. Several new teachers to the school have made strides in their departments, while the old ones still hand out worksheets that were made on a type writer. During the “evaluations” the school likes to call them (more like performances) teacher put on the show of a lifetime for the 45 minutes they have to teach. These days are planned so teachers know ahead of time and trust me they are well rehearsed. I wish students were able to evaluate their teachers. I know some teachers already do that but I wish it was mandated by the district.
