I have three kids that have attended Cornwall Schools. Two from MS through HS have graduated and one from Kinder who currently attends HS. Two of the three had some SPED services. Our experience overall has been very good and each of my children has received an excellent education. Some of the negative reviews leave me wondering. I suppose it's important to remember that for some kids, no matter which school they attend, growing up isn't easy. And for all kids, learning has its challenges along the way. Is it fair to put that on the school and community? Was a strife-free life promised to all? I guarantee that if your child attends Cornwall schools they will receive ample opportunities to learn how to write and read well, how to reason, and how to work cooperatively with others. The majority of their teachers work hard to push them to the next level and ensure they understand. The majority of parents are decent people involved and engaged with their kids.

The amazing community is what is keeping Cornwall alive. We unfortunately feel as though we have stepped backwards 10 years upon sending our kids to this school district. The sciences and art programs (both music and visual) are a far cry from what is taking place elsewhere. While COH Elem puts on a fabulous musical theater production each year, let it be known that this is something the parents run and put their blood sweat and tears into...not the school. If we would have known what we do now, we would have settled elsewhere with a more progressive educational outlook.

This school has been very welcoming to parents and has included us in their daily email updates. We are encouraged to contact teachers/staff if we have questions or concerns and thus far, my questions have been promptly answered. In addition, there are advanced classes for students willing to work harder and we appreciate the diversity within the school as well. Another observation I've made is, for the most part, CCHS students show maturity and respect for one another which is great.
