Had a great experience as a parent my wife and my sons mom both had gone to taconic along with there family members. Knowing the school and faculty members helped a lot and always felt like my son was having a great experience there.

I would like to see more administration and parent involvement with school and extracurricular activities around the school.

I love Taconic, yeah sure there are some physical disputes here and there but hey it's public school what would you expect. All my teachers are very understanding and do their best to help their students out, and they really know what they're teaching us, and how to make it easier if we are having trouble. I dont find it hard to find at least one class I enjoy, even if it was remote. While being in school at home for a large majority of the year i was still able to find classes i live and teachers i could really trust. Taconic is a community of so many different people and personalities and there isn't much i would change if I could.

Most of my classes are very advanced and I learn everything I need to k...

This school is awful. There is dirt and dust throughout. Many kids fail classes each year. The honors teachers use excuses such as "You're in honors, you should be acing these classes." The school is stressful and a tense environment to work in. The staff only focuses on the "problem students," beca...
