    I’m proud and feel quite gratitude to be a student at Canandaigua Academy. I’ve been in the Canandaigua City School District for my entire educational career so far and it’s truly shaped who I am. Every teacher has been fantastic and inspiring. I’ve received a wonderful, well-rounded education and I’m so fortunate to be able to say that. Being a student at Canandaigua inspired me to become a teacher myself which is why I plan to further my education and go to college for Adolescence Education and English. It’s all thanks to Canandaigua :).

    There are a lot of things CA has to help students that are struggling and I think some of them still need work done to make kids feel more comfortable showing up. There is also very little diversity in the student base which can lead to negative effects. The only other complaint would be the cleanliness of the bathrooms sometimes, but that more a fault of the students rather than the school district. Despite all of that, there are some phenomenal teachers in all subjects who really have a firm grasp of what they are doing and there really at least one teacher that any kid can connect to.
    Love going to school here! All around I feel like we have the best of everything from Academics, to a great sports program, college readiness with the IB and AP programs. I'm in Student Government and that keeps me busy.They offer a great selection of after school activities for students to participate in.
