I had a wonderful experience at Colonie CentraI High School. As a student with special needs the staff provided me with all of the necessary supports to be successful. I truly would not change anything about my experience there. I never would have gotten accepted to the school of my choice if it was for the teachers who believed in me and gave me the coincidence to apply.

It is very hard to get mental health services. There were many times where I felt unheard. Many times did I feel at danger in my surroundings. I was bullied all throughout my schooling and the administration did nothing.

Colonie high is not very diverse. I wish people were more nice to each other at Colonie high. Though there are a lot of clubs and sports that you can join.
