Open Quote This is a school district that has worked incredibly hard to become rated among the best in the state--as well as the country. It is a small community where everyone attends all the same schools from preschool to high school. Getting into college the primary goal of the school, and the administrative leadership, the educators, and the counselors in the High School work extremely hard to do whatever the can to help the students achieve those goals. Additionally, the school offers many extracurriculars, as well as a dedicated sports, arts, and music program. Even students requiring special services are immersed in a team-environment that is very goal oriented. It is all incredibly impressive.

Having said that, the district, its educators, its parents and its students are trying to reconcile extremely high goals with...life. The work is demanding. The kids who are in it to win it--will. Still, college is not for everyone, thus, the kids who cannot keep up, struggle. While it is not the pressure cooker of a Scarsdale or Rye, I believe this school system would benefit from educating its parents and students about better ways to manage expectations and coping with the stress. After all, getting a 95 now and then, is not the end of the world. Good luck Byram. It's been educational in more ways than I ever expected. Close Quote
