What is the setting of The View From Saturday?

The academic bowl which serves as the heart of the plot of
this story takes place at Epiphany Middle School in Epiphany, NY, where paraplegic
teacher Mrs. Olinski chooses four students from her 6th grade classroom to
compete.


Another important setting for a subplot of the
story takes place at Nadia's father's house with the retirees from Central Village, in
Florida.  This is where the sea turtle project takes
place.


I do not believe the actual date is ever specified
in the book, but it assumed that the story and its many flashbacks take place in modern
times.
