Bathrooms are disgusting, food is ok, teachers are fine and peers are fine. Music and Arts program is amazing and science, math and tech is also really good.

My highschool has been home to some of the best and worst experiences of my life. I've met some of my greatest friends at this school yet encountered some of my most difficult life events. Yet this school has been nothing short of a home for me in my experience. Since I'm quite active in the music program this obviously skews my opinion since the program is quite fleshed out in budget and professionalism. But this school has given me opportunities I would've never been able to experience nor have without the programs it has.

Class of 2005! I can't believe all the negative reviews for Mohonasen. Has it got that bad over the years? I was born and raised in Rotterdam and to this day still talk to my friends from Mohon.

Just as bad as the Schenectady School District. This school was awful when I went there and from others stories it's worse now.
