My experience with Vanderpoel for 7th and eigth grade was not a very good one. Academically speaking they were good. The principle is good and a sweetheart. The teachers need a class in parent ettiquets..all of the office staff should just be fired and replaced with professional speaking,people that know how to deal with the public and concerned parents... The gym teacher was great. My over all experience at vanderpoel was not a very good one and the relief i felt when it was time for my child to graduate from this school couldn't have come sooner.

This school fair. The kids there are bad and the teachers let the kids get away with most thing whe nthey should be expelled by now. It's taking away from me learning alothough I am a A and B average student, I just want all the Bad students to be gone. And if you take them away their would only proably 100 kids left in that school.

I feel that this school prepares me for high school; in one year this school prepared me so well, I scored above 95 in all of my categories on ISAT. The only problem is discipline. Kids are to bad, and that takes away from the kids who really wanna learn.

I believe that Vanderpoel School is doing an OK job as a school itself. I've been a student at Vanderpoel for about 5 or so years and everything is still the same the only current editions that has been added to the school is a computer lab and an elevator. I think that it is time for a change!
