This school is full of prejudice people, but I've been going here since kindergarten and I have come out with some great friends because of it, so I guess I wouldn't change my experience if I could.

I love how energetic a lot of the teachers are and how they are so involved at school outside of their own job. I would say a negative though about Avoca is that it is small so a lot of activities like clubs have gone away. It would be great if our school had more opportunities.

Having gone to a small school helps a person get to know more people on a personal level along with bonding with teachers. In every school or even in the work environment there will always be people who are hard to work will. Through out my student career at Avoca Central School i have had wonderful experiences along with learning a great amount of conflict resolution.

The Elementary School has excellent and very responsive teachers. The Principal is easy to talk with and looks out for the needs of each individual student. This district does a nice job of balancing requirements from the State with what is best for each student in the classroom

The classes are great, and the food is probably above average, but there is a lot of bullying, and most of the teachers just look the other way. When you go to the principal he does nothing. They say they have a strict bullying policy, but there is nothing done about it.
