School Reviews

I can''t complain, the four years there left an impression that is genuine, and profound. To me personally, the experience was authentic and sincere. I have no substantial complaints, the teachers are relatively polite as long as they are getting paid and aren''t in prison. The administration, however, can do a better job of hiding the duel lighting-bolts on their uniforms, but that''s just my opinion, some local residents are quite fond of the sharp-looking arm-bands. I can describe it as nothing but a good quality education for tomorrow''s Honesdale youth.

As an alumni, I was well prepared for college academically. I was a music student and didn't feel as well prepared in that area, but because of the dedication of my teachers they took extra time to make sure I was ready for the challenges in that area ahead in college despite the lack of course offerings in the music area. It's a great school with a great faculty.
