Senior: Shaker High School is one of the best experiences I've had. From the staff to the choices of classes, I always had something to do. The teachers are truly helpful and are always willing to talk to you if you needed help. Some teachers even became friends in the sense that you could talk to them about anything and they'll be there. As for the classes, there are different subjects you can select like computer based classes, the art programs, the music department, and much much more. I am very thankful to have attended Shaker High School, Go Bison!... Read 178 reviews

Parent: Doane Stuart School has a reputation for academic excellence, with a challenging curriculum that prepares students for college and beyond. The school offers a wide range of academic programs, including college in the High School, and has a low student-to-teacher ratio, which allows for individualized attention and support. Doane Stuart School also places a strong emphasis on community, with a welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters close relationships among students, faculty, and families. The school encourages students to become active and engaged members of their communities through service-learning and extracurricular activities. My two boys attend Doane Stuart and love the school, the teachers, and the community. It truly is a place of academic excellence! The combination of academic excellence and a strong sense of community is what sets Doane Stuart School apart as one of the best schools in the capital district.... Read 43 reviews

Senior: Academy of the Holy Names has been a great experience through high school. I would recommend any young girl to explore this school as an option for either middle or high school to help prepare for college. The school provides an excellent environment to help develop beyond the classroom, creating newfound confidence in the girls. Between many great clubs and sports teams, the extracurriculars are outstanding. Every student is involved in multiple activities and maintains social and academic support that helps her thrive....

Middle School Student: This school is Great! I currently go here and I love the teachers and opportunities we are given to grow and learn more. The cute little town of Voorheesville is great for kids to play, and adults to make friends. I couldn't ask for a better way to learn and make friends then going to this school. If you are looking for a nice place to live with good schools, this is the right place for you.... Read 3 reviews

Senior: Overall Clayton A. Bouton High School is amazing. It is located in a small village outside of Albany, NY. Being a small school district means lots of things. Such as students having great bonds with their teachers. No large classes and the teachers remember you! Also with a small student population that means everyone knows each other which can be good or bad depending on your opinion. The school food is average, it is a clean school, they have a variety of sports and clubs. I feel this school is very nice and all the staff are helpful and kind.... Read 51 reviews

Junior: When I first started at cba, I was nervous that because of the uniforms, and an all boy, military, and religious environment I would miss out on key “high school highlights” that would happen anywhere else. But now looking back on to the years as a cba brother and now looking to become a senior and staff officer in the brigade I’ve realized that cba was the school that provided me great experiences that surpassed my expectations of what I could accomplish in high school. For starters the academic environment is great as the low class sizes make it easier to focus. Another thing about academics is that someone will always be pushing you to do better whether it’s a classmate or a teacher. This school also has a great college preparation program where it guarantees kids good colleges if they’re dedicated to do so. And when it comes to sports and culture we have the best sports teams in section 2 and a school culture that encourages achievements that couldn’t be reached prior.... Read 35 reviews

Parent: As a parent, choosing LCS was one of the best decisions we ever made with our two kids. They loved their time at LCS with our only regret not starting them there since kindergarten or Pre-K. There are so many positives that I will run out of space in this review. It is a school where the teachers and administration truly care about the students and their families. The academics are strong with an emphasis on challenging the students to think analytically and to truly learn a subject. The students have the opportunity to take college credit classes which has allowed both of our kids to start college academically as sophomores which is a big financial incentive! The Christian worldview teaching matches with our worldview which was a must for any private school for our family. The opportunity to be part of extracurricular activities like sports, clubs, music and drama all contribute to a well rounded student. Many of these activities are only for the top 1% at large schools.... Read 58 reviews

Senior: I've attended NDBG for the last 3 and a half years. It's a good solid private school in the City of Schenectady, New York. My parents chose this school because, we live in the City of Albany and under no circumstances would my parents allow me to attend the Albany City School for a variety of reasons. I like the small class sizes of the NDBG and the close interaction we have with the faculty and administration. I believe my school is providing me with a solid foundation as I transition to college in the fall of 2023. On the minus side, I think NDBG is in need of renovations to its physical plant, (roof, bathrooms, heating system and insulation). The school building is over 50 years old, and it needs an upgrade in many areas. I also believe the NDBG needs to reach out more to the local and state government, as well as he community to help the school with its capital needs. This does include any to do with religious instruction, just basic physical plant improvements.... Read 62 reviews

Parent: My son graduated from Albany Community Charter School. It is hands down the best school in Albany. Staff is very caring and nurturing the way they encourage and support students and families. The school is truly like a family. I highly recommend it to parents. The school has lots of African American teachers and staff. They offer a wide variety of afterschool activities. My son excelled while there and remains connected to his classmates and teachers to this day.... Read 2 reviews
