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.

My experience at Old Forge Junior/Senior High School, in general, was very pleasant. I was able to make friends that I will have for the rest of my life. The education system was also very good at delivering the information I needed as a student.

We have a smaller graduating class than other local schools. While some of the larger school districts consist of 300-600 students in each graduating class, Old Forge averages 50-70. The class of 2018 is actually one of the largest classes at 90 students. I feel a sense of community going to a smaller school, I know the majority of my classmates and have played sports or been involved in activities with many of them over the years.
