Shenendehowa East High School 970 New York 146, Clifton Park, NY 12065

"I've been reading all the past reviews and most of them seem like students having to deal with unfortunate encounters with other students or teachers ("my bff got rape"d) ("hate-filled school"). Things like that you can come across in almost any large public school, and I don't believe these opinions give a true representation of the quality of this school, and I am here to do just that. I myself an a sophomore at Shen who just moved here from the other side of the country, and I must admit my first impressions weren't so great. My first day of school I didn't get any student guide or any guidance from faculty and found myself scrambling around the maze of hallways looking for my classes that sometimes ended up being on the opposite end of the school. Fortunately all my teachers were very nice and I was able to make friends quickly. Now I do agree that bullying and social clicks are a normality here at Shen, but honestly I've found that avoiding that unnecessary drama has worked out well, and keeping a positive outlook on things has helped greatly. The only real complaint I have is that they do offer less of a variety of advanced classes than other schools in the area, so if that's what you are worried about I suggest trying Niskayuna or Shaker. Athletes definitely thrive here at Shen, as their athletics program excels in all sports, constantly winning against neighboring schools and taking home many trophies. Overall, if you are into academics and high grades and colleges I suggest you look into other schools because although Shen is good, I have reason to believe other schools are better. If you aren't so much geared towards those high-level AP classes and enjoy athletics then Shen will definitely be the place for you. Thanks for reading Andrew"

"As a student here I would not be who I am without this amazign school."

"As a student, i hated it here. Bullying is a norm as well as social clicks. Administration is uncaring and harsh. Drug dogs come all the time this year. Heroine and painkillers are sold daily. I skipped a year just so i don't have to deal with Shen anymore. It was the worst school i went to in my life and i went to over 8 of them!"

"TERRIFIC SCHOOL great way to start your education!!!"
