I really enjoyed my time in the Spackenkill School District. It is notoriously a small school, with only 100-120 children per class. The size, however, made it all the more enjoyable. You really do know everyone, or are at least familiar with all your classmates. You are also able to establish close relationships with your teachers and administrators. Speaking of teachers, all of the staff are wonderful. The teachers truly care and will fight on behalf of their students. Many can recognize when their students are overwhelmed or feeling drained and will adjust accordingly. That is not to say, however, that the coursework isn't challenging. Spackenkill's curriculum is more difficult on all levels compared to other local school districts. All-in-all it is a school that wants to help you succeed and will provide you the tools to do that.
Spackenkill has provided me with a comfortable and engaging learning environment throughout all my years of schooling. The teachers and staff are always helpful and make the interests and needs of their students their top priority. In addition to strong academics, Spackenkill provides students with many extra-curricular opportunities and valuable resources for allowing students to put their best foot forward. I could not has asked for a better education than I received in Spackenkill and would highly recommend it.
I love being at Spackenkill. I love all of the teachers, they are always supportive and push students to work hard. There are tons of extracurricular opportunities for students from school sports to the math team. The school is relatively small, which gives it an almost 'private' school feel. The only issue with the school being small is the lack of flexibility in high school scheduling. I have run into situations where I wasn't able to take a certain class because it was only offered one period, while many of the larger schools nearby can offer it all the time. That's the only issue I have with the school, otherwise, I love it!
