The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall Wallkill was a place I was able to make my home. The students make it a very loving and caring environment and makes it very comfortable and fun to go to school. The academics were very good I was able to take all the academics I wanted to and was very satisfied overall.

My biggest issue with the school is the lack of effort and care from the administration. Last year, they tried to cut the language department because of budget cuts, while we have nine people total filling the three positions in the administration. Some of the staff also refuses to teach the students.

It is more like a prison environment. Students are in perpetual lock down without free movement on and off campus or during lunch. The policy appears to be based upon a false ideology of chronic danger. An armed guard at the main entrance should be sufficient in a rural area with a low violent crime...

They treat the students like babies. They don't care if someone is being bullied and frankly they don't care what kids so unless it bothers them. Like you can't express yourself or anything. You are judged by everyone there.

This is a great school for well-rounded students! Aside from having talented and supportive teachers and staff it offers way more curriculum variety and after school activities that aren't available at other schools.The Art and music departments have won many awards are the best in the area!
