I really enjoyed going to Niskayuna High School. I got to experience the different amount of activities, resources, and overall diversity. I would like to say that the preparedness for college is not the best. I wish there was more helpful tips on getting you ready for college rather than back to back exams and tests.

Niskayuna is a very open and helpful learning environment. The teachers always try their hardest to help us succeed. My favorite part of niskayuna is it's amazing music program and faculty.
