The Solvay High School staff are all so kind and helpful. One thing I would like to see change is the guidance counselors being more involved in the college readiness process.

Not very good. My daughter had to leave because she was not being offered any type of support that she desperately needed.

Our school is a great alternative to city school. It has a great diversity and most of the teachers are quite amazing. Would not want my kids to go to any other school.
