Since I am homeschooled, I will be rating the homeschooled community in the area as a whole rather than my home, since I will obviously have a skewed bias in both directions. At times the district officials were difficult to work with, and my mother had to work to not jump through different hoops every year. However, we were able to complete our paperwork and neither my nor my siblings paperwork has been turned down thus far. The homeschool community in the Ulster County and surrounding area is incredibly diverse and everyone does a good job of supporting everyone else. This extends to social events, college preparation, resource sharing, and the interaction with the local schools themselves.
I have heard negative things about the KCSD because it is a border line inner city school, but I had a wonderful experience. I was in classes where teachers cared that students learned the material more than they cared about test scores. My guidance councilor was helpful and well informed. The arts, music and theater programs were all well supported and funded, and there are clubs for every type of interest.
I’ve had some teachers who actually made me want to learn. I get distracted very easily and can’t sit down for long but most teachers helped me, worked with me, had patience with me. The BOCES program was absolutely amazing. I wish I could see more kids take education seriously and not bring their everyday drama in and actually appreciate what school has to offer.
