We give the school an A or A+! Two of our children attend and compared to public school, NDCS wins hands down in all categories except physical plant. However, we expect a new playground, new sports equipment and more high school activities and vocational exposure. It's a bargain for the lowest tuition around. Our children truly love the teachers, the staff and principal, the other children and Our Lord and Savior as a direct result of the blessing bestowed on them at NDCS. Their grades and test scores are higher than in public school. The small classes and gentle, loving discipline is the difference there.

I have two children- one is currently a Red Hook alumnus in college, and the other is a first grader at Mill Road. I have been a parent in this district for 16 years. It is a wonderful community of teachers and staff that are committed to do their utmost best for the students. There is no 'perfect' school-public or private. Public schools have so much that they are up against, and in Red Hook, no matter if it is a union issue or a budget issue- the teachers do not bring it to the classroom. They have demonstrated to me time and time again that they go above and beyond despite whatever hurdles may be there. They are friendly caring people- part of the 'Village' that helped raise one child of mine and now the other.

Red Hook has a great school system and is very smart. The kids are extremely bright and the sports are exelling in excellence. The environment is very safe. The teachers are exceptional making the kids the best they can be. I can say this is the best school in the state.
