I'd consider it a high school that is pretty good in terms of STEM subjects and exceptional in terms of the arts

I have participated in many school activities, such as sports, on the Niskayuna Boys Varsity Soccer team, and extracurricular clubs, such as the stock market club and Asian culture club. I have made many lifelong friends with whom I have grown extremely close.
