Pomperaug Regional High School

It’s terrible they overpay the teachers like crazy and don’t do anything for you know, heat and stuff.

Excellent region that demonstrates world class practices and continually improved instruction, materials and teaching delivery methods. Students are engage in high levels of music, art, languages, clubs, state of the art technology applied to classic education and team athletics. The foundation laid builds strong character that is backed up by the best education in the state as well as the country as proven by data of college GPAs of graduated students.

Region 15 educational system is not just one of the best in the State of Connecticut, it is also one of the best in the country. I can says this based on my college aged students SAT and ACT results and University 3.99 GPA in a competitive medical program. My current high school child is exceeding thier own goals and is set to surpass the older sibilings goals at the same point. The staff at each school is world class and caring. The grading rational is sometimes tough and is under valued. Grades are truely earned and the high school GPA may seem lower on paper than these other schools with everyone getting 4.0 GPAs but our students outperform all those kids in college. Only improvement would be that guidance department actively sell this lower GPA fact to colleges when comparing the true quality of students vs. all those 4.0 GPA schools (public and private) who get their students into the few Ivy slots available.

The school has wonderful teachers, most of them are angles always available and hardworking . Unfortunately, it has a few bad apples that are never available to students, favoritism for jocks is bold and fragrant. Students who are struggling with health issues & illnesses are treated like dirt, and will be penalized and given the run around. A hand up is never given to the sick. Ex. A girl on crutches fell down a flight of stairs and ended up with a concussion because no one gave her the elevator key. The schools motto should be "If your not strong than you don't belong and we're not referring to your intelligence" The corruption is disgusting as administration backs each other up regardless of how unfair and wrong. Admin just looks the other way. They fib and boast 99% graduation when they lost over 43 students in the Junior year in a class of 300. Teachers bully and encourage bulling of the sick. If you are physically strong and do not get sick it's a wonderful place, it should be for everyone who's a resident of the school district and pays school taxes.
