We have been very happy with Onteora Middle School for our son. The teachers are excellent and very kind and caring toward the students and their families. They also have a great music program that we have found just amazing! The district is small and the class sizes are small, which we really like because there is plenty of personal attention for students and more flexibility than larger districts can provide. Onteora has a large budget of $60 million dollars per year and we only have about 1000 students in the whole district. The only downside is that the buildings are old and need renovating, which is slowly happening but really should happen faster with such a huge budget. Close Quote
