There are so many outstanding opportunities such as Regents, Honors, AP Courses, electives, extracurriculars, and sports due to the fact that it is a National blue ribbon school and it is ranked #1 in Best Public High Schools in Dutchess County.

I look forward to becoming a student at Spackenkill High School as a tuition student.

The teachers are always available, they push students to achieve their best, and the district is very supportive of all its teams: athletic and academic alike. I believe it has expanded a bit since my graduation years back. Nonetheless, it was a great school in a great location! Love those Spartans.

Grades have dropped drastically here down to failing two years in a row. The way the teachers talk to and about the students can be really unethical at times- some teachers seem to be caring - others are disgustingly rude and lack educational etiquette . The principal is a piece of work! Reminds me of president trump- hes always right never wrong and nope you cant get two words in on any conversation with him. If you object to anything he says your child will be the one to suffer . Recess is a disaster ! Lack of supervision and always a fight going on somewhere. Major bullying issues here and it gets swept quietly under a rug! Too many kids in classes with only one teacher. Slow learners get left hanging. School has a beautiful building and campus on the flip side of things . Wonderful secretaries and counselors. Nice gym and library. They do issue chromebooks to all students. But to me and what ive been through the last two years thats not enough for a good review. This is the only middle school in this district my childs "zoned and allowed" to attend. Its a problem!!!

Haviland middle school is a excellent school.This school is really good. The teacher use tough love…read morethey push your children as hard as they can go, that's from my personal experience. Some people might say that their child's grades had rapidly dropped in this school well... they don't work hard enough. If your child is not hardworking they will never succeed that's a stupid thing to say but it is true. Even if your child has a learning disability they will help you by offering extra help at recess or after school if you need it. This is unless your child is not willing to get good grades which I found out was more than 75% of the school. This means 75% of the schools children don't care about grades, however if your child if the hardworking 25% I assure you that your child will succeed. All of the campus is clean and shiny, everything is neatly organized until tampered by us, the students, but eventually they will fix it and make it all better. The only bad thing about this school (not really bad) is it's food. The food is not made in school but canned food. Not that bad though you can get through it. That is my review of Haviland middle school. Thank you Mrs. Ader (6th grade English teacher) and Mr. Smith(7th grade English teacher) for helping me right this paragraph. Sincerely, Jason Yang 7th grade 2019-2020

Twice we saw girls look at the tour group and roll their eyes in disgust and while on tour there wasn't a single friendly hello from students walking around the campus. It's a shame because Marist has some great programs and was close enough for my son to come home once in a while. They say you can't make a second first impression and vibe from the current students we saw walking around just didn't make the place seem like the right fit. I'm 100% SURE this isn't the entire student body, but it is what it is. The search continues...
