Alum: Central Valley Academy provided me with an atmosphere that promoted growth. I attended CVA during the COVID-19 pandemic and was still able to advance through my academics as if there was no pandemic. This school provided me with much of the knowledge necessary to succeed in my college endeavors. If there was anything I would change it would be the group of students that hold others back. Some students do not view academics as importance and attempt to push their ideas on others. But, the teachers and staff often push those who are doing well to continue the work.... Read 18 reviews

Sophomore: I think Town of Webb is a good school. During my time I have liked my teachers and classes. I think the students have opportunities that people don’t have. For example students are able to do multiple sports. And tons of extracurricular activities. But we the building could be in better condition. It is a very old school. Many of the bathroom stalls do not have locks on them. Paint is chipped in many rooms. There is even asbestosis in some rooms. Overall I think it is a good school.... Read 44 reviews

Junior: I would rate my experience at James A. Green High School as very good because of the variety of clubs, sports, and the friendly staff. The variety of clubs allow students to express creativity and themselves. Examples of clubs are Student Council, Battle of the Books, and so much more. Students are also given many sports to chose from such as Soccer, Softball, and many other options. The friendly staff and helpful teachers allow for an encouraging learning environment. This school has many positive aspects and also a few negative traits. One way this high school could improve is in the diversity; the school is in a very small town with multiple traditions and can lack exposure to different ethnicities or cultures. As a smaller school, there is limited resources which leads to an average result. However, this school takes these limited resources to give the students an amazing opportunities and a great learning experience.... Read 36 reviews

High School Senior: Overall my experience at this school has been great, as a teenager it can be hard at times to get through high school and continue to enjoy school, at Poland it makes the environment very open to anyone and welcoming to parents who are concerned on there children's learning. My school is unique because it is a very small school with huge community involvement. I would choose this school over again because how close I have become to people and my experience was great....

Senior: Herkimer Hugh School is an amazing atmosphere where I attended a year of middle school and the entirety of highschool. As a person that moved from Coopsterstown CSD, Herkimer High School meets all the necessities a student looks for. Such necessities are security and education. This school has police in school grounds ensuring my safety and all the other students. As for education, they don’t offer as much AP classes. However, they do offer courses that are dual credit which can help students after highschool.... Read 46 reviews
