Colonie Central High School seems to be a very good compromise between having good facilities and a…read moregood educational program along with keeping school taxes reasonable. My two special-needs kids both went to school there and, with a lot of help, both graduated with Regents diplomas. One went to a technical/trade school after that. I'm not saying the school is perfect, in fact, it's far from it. But I've been quite satisfied, for the most part, as a parent. I feel we got a really good value for our money and while our kids both had some problems they were not insurmountable. I feel the school has an excellent location, even if it is somewhat hemmed in, that is convenient and easy to reach for a good number of students (we were very close so our kids could walk) and yet also close to other facilities such as Colonie Center Mall. We don't see as much of the school as we did when our kids were there, helping with such things as Line n Cue or watching our daughter play lacrosse but we still are reminded when football games are played there behind our house or when we see runners on our street for the Raider Classic.

I have known the school for fifty years. Darrow gave me the space, support and opportunity to…read morediscover so many skills I never knew I had. Darrow taught me to think analytically, communicate effectively and collaborate as often as possible. There is a "safeness" that exists at Darrow that allows a student to try anything. If a student fails, he will be caught. To me there is more pride in failure than never having tried. I failed many times while at Darrow. Was I negatively judged? No. Did I try something else? I did. As a consequence, I am still trying new things. Some I'm good at. Others, not so much. But thanks to Darrow I keep on trying.

Then we discovered Darrow: a stunningly beautiful setting in the Berkshire foothills, a warm and welcoming community, and a collaborative process that turns students into partners in the education process. It transformed our son into an outgoing, enthusiastic and accomplished student and it made his extra-curricular interests blossom. The "Mountainside" is more than a school - it's the foundation for a lifetime of achievement.

And all the kids are stoned or drunk when they come into school. AND the principal treats the kids like they are her friend and not students. No one gets treated the same when it comes to attire thin girls and thick girls can't wear the same shirt because the think girl will get in trouble but not the thin girl. Guys can wear tank tops and girls can't because "it distracts boys from their education" like if you pop a boner because of some girls shoulder then you got issues and if you can't keep it in your pants because of a shoulder then you really should get some help

The fact that the charter schools have to wait until the public schools open in order to pick up…read morethe kids from the charter school, knowing that the charter schools start before the public schools is ridiculous. If you have no means of transportation your kids WILL miss an entire week and a few days just because they say that they don't start picking kids up until the public schools are open.... So basically it's okay if the charter school kids miss school because of this ridiculous rule????
