Absolutely horrible. The crime is awful, one time I was mugged by a teacher and to make matters…read moreworse every day the counselor takes my lunch money. I stood up to my bully today and she still beat me up but in my defense that eighty year old sure knows how to fight. One time was just standing around playing on my phone and then boom, someone stole my underpants, I had to walk around for the rest of the day uncomfortable because of that jerk. Plus when I went to check if I still had underpants on, which i didn't my phone was stolen. And two months ago George brought a rabid badger on a stick and beat me up with it. The spitballs have evolved into an blow darts with cyanide tips, I have to carry around antidotes. I am obviously joking though, my bully is only 75. It's a great school though.

And even more excited to come home and tell me about what she learned that day. Math is presented in fun and engaging ways so that she has learned to love it rather than be afraid of it. Risk taking is valued as part of growth and development, and the joy that comes from inquisitive young minds is heard throughout the halls at Harley. I cannot imagine my daughter anywhere else and it makes me feel very good as a parent to know that she is at the best school in Rochester.

My kid went and shadowed a student for a day and loved it. So we applied. They questioned his…read moreschool records....questioned his absences from the previous year, as if him being out of school for week due to bronchitis was an issue, or missing a couple days out the year due to doctors appointments or being sick was also an issue. Questioned his lower reading scores, even after I explained he has a learning disability and basically begged the school to give him a chance. And like another private school in Rochester, they also didn't give me any decision whatsoever. So if your child has a learning disability don't bother with this school cause there's no compassion. They couldn't even bother to let me know whether my kid was accepted or rejected!

I would never recommend a parent send any child to Allendale Columbia School. Many of the local…read morepublic school systems offer a better, more complete, and more supportive environment for children. Here's why: My son was abruptly expelled from Allendale Columbia, and the school has made no attempt to rectify the situation. I'm going to communicate the facts of the situation and let you draw your own conclusions about how students are treated by Allendale Columbia. As background, my son (a first grader) has some mild behavioral issues that I acknowledge can be a challenge to deal with. We were working with the school, my son's pediatrician, and my son's therapist. We were seeing positive improvements and our impression was that things were headed in a good direction. On February 24th, 2021, at approximately noon, I informed Allendale Columbia that we might not be returning to the school for the following school year. On the same day, at 3:45pm, I received a call from Interim Head of School Shannon Baudo. Baudo claimed there had been "an incident" in the after school program, provided few details, and told me that my son was expelled from school effective immediately. He never had a chance to say goodbye to his friends or collect his belongings. We never received a written incident report. Two days later, on February 26th, my wife and I had a phone call with Baudo and the lower school principal Michelle Feiss. By this time, Baudo's story changed, and she insinuated that my six year old son had acted inappropriately towards a girl in the after school program. This is an allegation I take extremely seriously, so I called the parents of the girl, who were not aware of the severity of the situation. The school has still provided no proof, and no written incident report. The school refused to refund any tuition, even the tuition for the portion of the school year we did not receive. Only you can make decisions for your family. However, I feel that I'd be doing a disservice to the parent community in Rochester if I did not make you aware of this event, and the school's callous and abrupt response.
