In the past few years, Somers has set its place as a great district for college prep and general proficiencies, though as one climbs the ladder through each institution, its culture becomes a bit more concerning.
First and foremost: an extreme emphasis on sports. The current dean of students at Somers High School gives athletes an unfair prioritization regarding truancy and academic talents. If a non-athlete skips, he will not give them the slack that an athlete gets for doing the same thing. Somers’s “big-wig” athletes (track, football, soccer) receive ample funding for their activities; however, despite a massive turnout of participating students, the arts department is severely underfunded.
Somers also has (at least in older age groups) a concerning bout of racism. More than once, white students have called black students slurs in the hallways, swastikas can be found etched into textbooks, and our school’s tolerance seminars are rare. Administration predominantly white.

Somers will always be a place I think of and my heart feels so full. So fond of my childhood here. From kindergarten through 12th, this is a community that truly cares. I realized the extent to the Somers education when I went to college. I knew so much more than my classmates, because I had already learned everything in Somers. Many students grow up to teach at Somers Schools because our hearts belong here. I have sisters who are still in Somers schools and they have done an outstanding job with remote/ in-person learning during the pandemic. I highly recommend checking out the Somers Central School District Facebook page to see. I will always be PROUD and GRATEFUL to be a Somers Tusker!!!!!!
My family moved to Somers a few years ago. Our kids have gone through SIS and SMS and had a great experience so far. The families in the community are overall really nice and look out for each other's kids which is great. The kids have liked their teachers and felt supported. Hopefully, the positive feelings continue!
