Students

Students who enroll must be considered at risk academically for an array of reasons. The students must be in danger of getting lost in Great Neck’s two large, comprehensive high schools or becoming overwhelmed by their large high schools. Students may have social and emotional problems. The students may also face anxiety and difficulties with focus and organization. In the Village School’s low-key approach, these issues can be dealt with easily. Students who may have felt lost and isolated in a large school often thrive in the smaller and more personalized setting of the Village School. In the 2010-2011 school year, 39 students attended Village School. However, Village School can enroll up to 50 students. About fifty percent of students qualify for special education.
