This school has some great teachers and staff that improve the school and help the students. The scheduling and the club organization are some of the weaker aspects of this school. The scheduling could be remodeled to allow for more overall class time and more elective classes. The club organization could be improved by creating more publicized clubs that would fit into our schedule better. The school could also include more hands-on activities during class time if we are to keep our block scheduling. Some of the best parts of our school are the Renaissance Fair for homecoming and the many spirit weeks.

After graduating this june, i realized the people i've met and friends i've made will stay there forever. I wouldn't have been able to make those connections without the staff at Towanda being so kind and helpful throughout my whole experience. The change of schedules however made it very hard to stick to a schedule and become comfortable with it.

I thought that most of the athletics programs were pretty great but there should be more focus on college prep.

Not a good place. Especially for kids with learning disabilities. Was told they shouldn't have to give my daughter with dyslexia any help because it isn't their fault she is "slow"They would rather just push her to the side so to speak than to help in anyway.

Not a good school at all. Had to remove my children due to bullying by a faculty member. And was told by the school that they could not provide a safe learning environment.
