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.[5]
