The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Teachers are good at engaging their students from the beginning to end of class by reviewing homework from the previous night and giving students warm up and journal assignments.

I know my son will miss this nurturing, diverse culture at Menands school. We hope we'll find the same reception at our next school. As a parent, I was welcomed and given immediate feedback.

It was once a wonderful school when my children first started. After the new superintendent took over I’m afraid the school has greatly declined. My oldest will be going to private school for high school as these same kids will be moving on to Shaker High School.
