Research Bishop Ludden Junior/Senior High School private Schools in Cortland, New York

“A safe and quality atmosphere led by teachers who actually care. Ludden has a large yet close-knit community.”

“An excellent alternative to urban Jr High during a crucial time in students' lives. HS provides basic courses, sports, very minimal extra curricular activities. Music and Language departments are good, Math very weak. A mix of urban and suburban students provide a good alternative to city schools, however, less value for suburban students. Students excel because many come from families with strong values. Too much focus on discipline and not enough on quality education. Parental involvement limited to fundraising and not on education improvement. Political. Administration is not supportive of students and focuses on what they are doing wrong instead of building leaders and self-esteem. I'd opt for suburban schools. For city students the trade off is less negative peer pressure and social issues for lower teacher quality.”

“When I entered my child in this school I was hoping to give to her a better level of education then a public high school could provide. I have not been disappointed with the physical attributes of this school. It is a school that provides smaller classrooms, great teacher-to-student ratios and a better moral code. What I have been disappointed with, though, is the level of teacher caring and interaction with students. In two of my childs classes it seems that the teacher could care less about the level of class education and participation. It seems that these teachers are just spending time at the school until something better comes along. Again, the level of staff participation and student interaction is great and the individual attention to students also is wonderful but I feel that the teachers should be more diligently reviewed.”
