"I am unfortunately stuck in a school too preoccupied with sports to care about academics. If you are not an overachiever and are an average student, you'll fit right in. I have been told that this school does not cater to the higher end of the student spectrum (aka, those who are preoccupied with actually learning something). There are no special programs or contests in the intellect department. there is, however, many in sports and music. There is a math team, but no science club or anything of the sort. Way too many sports if you ask me. The English department is very strong. The social studies is so-so. The sciences are so-so (depending on which teacher you are assigned-- some teachers do not know their facts). The maths are so-so. Foreign languages are strong as well. The environment is okay. There are the cliques and there is no major 'bullying' that occurs."

"Teachers are stuck in the 80s. Not very modern ways to teach. It's all about memorization. Creativity is not encouraged. Einstein would end up in the special ed wing would he attend Cornwall schools ! I see smart kids being neglected because they don't fit in their unique model. too bad."

"Very average school. teachers not supportive. a big disappointment given the taxes. The sciences program is low quality. only the language / history and art were satisfying."

"I disagree ,to a great degree ,with previous reviewers. My child experienced significant personal issues during the past two school years. The child is not involved in theatre or sports. She is a bright but not top student. Cornwall Central High School couldn't have been more supportive both academically and emotionally. My child was provided the resources she needed to succeed. I experienced personal involvement from all levels beginning with the principal. I found the Cornwall family totally embraced my child and myself. As a result, my child was able to return to a normal functioning level. All teachers but two were totally supportivew throughout a two year period. If one checks statistics you will find the school is both academically challenging with a highly rated administration. I found,as a parent, that one has to learn how to interact in a supportive and non-compative manner."

"It is quite unfortunate but my daughter did exceptionally well at this school due to her being in advanced classes and interest in extra curricular activities they have. My son who is not in advanced classes so I am finding out why others have said and plenty I know took their kids out to send to private school. I would do the same for him if I could since other reviews are on target- in general the teachers do not respond promptly, are not supportive in becoming involved in their students or for themselves to enrich the students. At open house two teachers separately said 'they do not leave always at 3 but sometimes stay until 3 30 or 4. I could not believe it- This is not passion to teach or encourage but just doing a 'job'. I have found this attitude with most teahers and supervisory level too."
