I really enjoyed going to Niskayuna High School. I got to experience the different amount of activities, resources, and overall diversity.

However when school abruptly ended, I and other students felt confused and anxious about the help we were able to get about the process.

I have been a parent in the Nisky district for 15 years, with my youngest now in HS. I can tell you that its a matter of time before this district - which is completely overrated - crashes. The Administration for a pristigious, upscale district is lost (to say the least) and without giving too much...
