Very disappointing experience. Wish we had never gone to the school. My son was treated poorly by…read morestaff and administration. Staff was allowed to bully my child and nothing was done about it. They did everything they could to make him feel unwanted and worthless. Talking to administration about our concerns regarding the teachers there was a waste of time and effort. The only thing that gives me peace is the fact that I know God is in control of everything. He will fight for those who are not able to fight for themselves. We are at a new school and much happier. We transferred out in the middle of the year because my son's was unbearable. Hard to believe this is a Catholic school. I blame on the administrator for allowing his staff to behave the way they did with my child. He did absolutely nothing. He would not even make a teacher apologize when she yelled my son's personal business in a hallway in the presence of several students. I pray every night that this school will be exposed for its poor treatment of minorities. May God have mercy on all those involved.

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.
