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 been a student at Niskayuna High School for four years now. 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.

Almost all the teachers are very helpful and nice. The academics are outstanding and really prepare you for college. It really all depends of the classes you choose to take.
