Students

Students who enroll must be considered at risk academically for an array of reasons. [15] 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. [16] Students may have social and emotional problems. [16] The students may also face anxiety and difficulties with focus and organization. [16] In the Village School’s low-key approach, these issues can be dealt with easily. [16] 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. [1] In the 2010-2011 school year, 39 students attended Village School. [9] However, Village School can enroll up to 50 students. [17] About fifty percent of students qualify for special education.
