For the past 12 years, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has named the Junior High School a New York State high performing school in addition to a "School to Watch".[4] In 2013, the NYSED named the Junior and Senior High Schools "Reward Schools" in the "High Performance" category. 98% of students from the class of 2018 graduated with a Regents Diploma, while 63% earned the higher Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation. In addition, a total of 99 students were inducted into the National Honor Society that same year.[11]

School buses and transportation

  • The District employs a fleet of 78-passenger Blue Bird Puller style buses, as well as ten "short" buses and five, eight-passenger vans. The District runs on a 100,000-mile or 10-year rotation of buses, and will generally buy five new buses per year, in accordance with the budget.
  • Every month, all of the buses are inspected by the New York State Department of Transportation.
  • The District employs four bus mechanics, one of which serves as the head mechanic. Each mechanic will service and performs inspections on the buses. The largest job so far that has been done in house has been a complete rebuild of five international 3800's diesel engines.
  • The Transportation Building houses five bays, two of which are equipped with lifts for large passenger bus, and another with a lift for small buses and vans. Two mechanics work mostly on the large buses, while one will work on the smaller vehicles. The fourth is responsible for hiring, book keeping, parts inventory and daily driver report filling.
