Guilderland High School provided a rich education for those deemed "intelligent." Once you started on a certain track you were likely to remain there and vice versa. There is a lack of diversity in its staff and administration. Most cases dealing with racism have been dismissed with a slap on the wrist. On the bright side, they offer a decent amount of dual enrollment classes and AP classes. The affordability in regards to what is paid in college cannot be replaced. The teachers are very understanding and are constantly looking for ways for you to succeed. Many of them reach out during hard times can make deadlines more flexible and work with you as an individual. The curriculum is anything but flexible. It has a very euro-centric outlook with anything regarding outsiders as minimal. Overall not a bad school to attend, but not the best for people of color if you ask
This school does a lot of performative action that looks GREAT on paper but does not necessarily translate well into the school community. Money is not allocated properly(according to students and parents) and it focuses mainly on athletics over everything else. There are a wide variety of classes to take and the guidance counselors and support staff are wonderful and do their best to help every student. I am very fortunate to go to a large semi-well-kept school as it is a great facility. However, there are a lot of areas that could be easily improved and the administration does not even consider them.
One thing that I like about Guilderland High School is how passionate the teachers are there. For example, my English teacher Mrs. Wein is so far the best English teacher that I've had as a student in the Guilderland Central School District. Mrs. Wein is making me enjoy English more than I already do. The way she presents her lessons, teaches, etc. She makes this honor class feel normal but while it is being an honors class. One thing that I would change about Guilderland Highschool is to have more classes for the study of psychology. This school only has one class for psychology and you have to be a junior to take it. I would like more classes for psychology because this is what I'd like to major psychology in college so I'd like to have more classes about it at the highschool I'm attending. Overall, this is one thing I'd like to change about Guilderland High School.
