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.

There is a great deal of support and a very strong community. College resources could be more plentiful but otherwise it was a very good environment and experience.

My experience at New Rochelle High School was rocky. Because of its size and amount of students, it tends to be very easy to feel comfortable and at ease when attending classes. I become very anxious when attending school, students and security there can be overwhelming. I would like to see change in the security because the current workers feel as though they have a right to disrespect the students. I understand that safety is most important but so is the respect of the students.

New Rochelle High School is going downhill fast. Despite increased funding, the school has cut honors classes, reducing academic rigor for motivated students. The athletic department is poorly run, disorganized, and unaccountable, with constant mismanagement and lack of transparency. More money, few...
