My two older sons graduated in Courtland HS. They both expressed that their teachers and counselors as well as the administration has been supportive of their learning growth.

My children both attended this school and I have to say, the staff, administration, teachers and parental involvement are impressive

This school stinks if you have kids in need of special help. No child should be left begging for a 504 plan when it is so blatantly obvious a child has a learning disability.

I'm a junior at Courtland High School and I have to say that I enjoy it more every year. The fine arts program is amazing and fun and the academic side of school isn't too bad either. Yes I've had bad teachers, but there are also many fantastic teachers who truly care about each and every student. It's a pretty diverse school in terms of behavior where half the kids are well behaved, while the other half are loud, obnoxious potheads! Overall I love my school and I can tell that most others do too by how much school spirit we have. Go cougars!

I graduated from Courtland in 2008 and I had a wonderful experience. I remain in touch with many teachers that all positively impacted my life. One negative is the math program, but the english teachers are wonderful and Mr. Helsley of the chemistry department can't be beat!
