Did you consider using other systems? Why did you choose KOHA? I work in a large secondary (aged 11-18) school in England.

We have been pretty happy with it so far. We are supported by LibLime, I'm sure we would not have been as successful without them. It has not been without drama, but we have been active in the Koha community (a necessity for success) and have gotten many answers to our questions from the very kind folks there.

We're a senior high school in Auckland New Zealand and make great use of the web 2.0 features of Koha: tagging, patron comments and reviews, shared booklists, 5-star ratings etc. We got around the technical support issues by using a hosted solution (i.e. someone else looks after the server and we pay a monthly fee- roughly US$15/mth). Works very well for us. Liblime and Katipo can provide hosting. We use Koha and love it.
