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.

OF school district has been wonderful for my two kids. From the beginning in kindergarten both my kids had wonderful teachers along with school office staff and their own retired cop Mr Bob who always was at drop off and greated each child by there first name and always interacted with kids keeping them safe. OF is a small to moderate school district where kids and good education was there main priority.

I would like to see the corruption change in the school district. Everything is shady and people do things to get higher up the ladder and take down anyone that is in their way. There are a handful of teachers that are really there for the benefit of their students, but not many.
