im a sophomore who is struggling in a lot of classes, I ask for the help I need, they give it, but some teachers give the wrong help, as if they dont know what theyre doing. some teachers are perfectly fine and I have no issues and I love them as my favorites, but majority are too rude and domt seem to care about theyre students. the admin dont seem to care about how the students feel about schedules and the environment of the prison looking school that looks self centered with their mascot and achievements plastered everywhere. the admin barely do anything for drama/musical students and only care about the football, wrestling and basketball teams. its all biased, this school has not treated me with much kindness as a student trying to have a fun school year during free periods or lunch. I also believe the admin + teachers whould let students have more freedom in a sense they can punish and give ISS or detention to the kids who deserve it rather than the whole classroom being told off.

Overall, this school is best known in my opinion for the environment. I feel as a student that the relationships that I have made along the way throughout the years are the most important to take away from the school. If you are looking to play sports, I feel as most of our sports teams are pretty competetive and also worthwhile for the relationships. Academics wise, it is good if you want to be by the books and stay in a school like environment.

I wouldn't change going to Chenango Forks for a thing. this school has taught me so many wonderful things along with introducing new people and activities. this school has a variety of different sports, clubs and other activities. since it's a smaller school we're more connected than bigger schools. overall it's an amazing place and i hope my future kids will attend just as i did:)
