The one borough school, nestled in the Pocono Mountain region, offers a fairly diverse curriculum for students, with an average class size of 60. The small-sized institution has helped me shape my way of life and sprout into the world of adulthood. The well maintained, 120-year-old building, left an indelible mark on me, both in my education and through the relationships I've made throughout the 4 years.

This school should be getting a 0 star. The teachers are horrible other than a select few. You're nothing if you don't have a popular last name or play sports. It's a joke and I am happy that I graduated. Leaving this school behind me and forgetting it.
