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!

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.

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.

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.

I have been in many a city school in Rochester, NY and most teachers I have had the misfortune to…read moreobserve in the district are awful. Several even confessed to me that they, only work there, because they could not find/keep employment with a suburban district. The Rochester city schools are an abject failure. Bad teachers+incompetent administrators+ welfare mentality parents= ignorant kids. Even worse they employ teacher aides/assistants that only have a GED, and can barely understand basic concepts themselves, much less explain them to the students. Failure begets failure. That is why, it is no surprise the Rochester city schools are in the state they are in. In 5-10 years it will be much worse. To any parent of school age children reading this, do not send your children to Rochester city schools. Work an extra job and move to the suburbs or find a charter or catholic school. You will regret it if you don't.

First things first, the recent administrative staff is inclusive and makes an effort to make students feel welcomed and heard. The teachers go out of their way to help their students in any way they can (Shout-out to Mrs. Davis).one thing to complain about is the lunch prices. $4 a day for breakfast and lunch adds up to $100 a month which is outrageous for students who have loans and are in accelerated classes like AP and IB. Not to mention the cafeteria ladies are rude. I feel as though the cafeteria food is up to par but not worth $4. In conclusion this school has exceptional staff and classes but terrible food.
