My children all attended this school district for kindergarten, elementary, middle school and high…read moreschool. The early years are fine , the high school years are not so special. The athletics department is terrible. A particular female tennis coach is just the meanest and inappropriate, she made life hell for my daughter who by the way has been recruited to play tennis in college this fall. There are some very caring teachers there as well, Some of the clubs are a good experience for the students overall. However, a lot of things are really rigged and shady. Exceptions are made and rules are broken based on how much noise a parent makes about their mistakes. Favoritism is alive and well starting from the top to the bottom. A very qualified teacher once admitted to me that the school is shady. So, if you are willing to spend every year completely involved with your eyes wide open, this may be the district for you.

Lovely large campus with tours being conducted for new students. My husband attended this…read moreUniversity many moons ago. He wanted to see the campus and asked our friend to ride through the area. The campus is sprawling with greenness and statues.

Over priced. They give a great tour and are excellent at selling the place…read more Past that--you're paying a boatload of money and getting very little in return besides being 30 minutes away from NYC. The business department is terrible. They rant and rave about it, but you'll soon realize 90% of the classes you take are nonsensical intro classes where you learn nothing. Do not expect to go to Iona for business and learn anything useful for a career. Now, most expensive private Colleges have premium dormitories. They have 1 building built during this century that they like to show off. The vast majority of their housing is decades old, falling apart, dirty, dingy, and dusty. It's horrendously overpriced. Far more expensive than an apartment and you lose all your rights living on campus subjected to unlawful raids/inspections. The food on campus sucks. They force you to buy a campus meal plan and for what you pay it should be far better. There's a reason they force you to buy the meal plan and it's not "to foster an on-campus community." It's a money grab plain and simple. The campus itself is tiny with very little to offer. The surrounding neighborhood is full of crime with a history of murders at the local high school right next to campus. All in all--tuition should be $10,000/year and dorms $5,000. You're splitting a tiny room 5-10 ways no apartment costs that much...it's a scam! You are paying for a bloated administration that takes exorbitant salaries and accomplishes very little. You're not paying for a high-quality private education. All you get is a piece of paper and 4 years living in a tin can. Don't waste your time or your money.

It's a nice school and the teachers really try. I don't like the fact that this private school…read morefollows the Bogota school closing schedule. The slightest inclement weather report this school will close or close early. Then when you do your best to get your child on these early closing days you receive a call from the Director (Ann) informing you of the time and your late with a less than professional sigh!!! I must say it took all of my strength to not answer back in a Brooklyn style fashion. Hello We pay a substantial amount of money so that my child can be cared for because we are a working family and having to leave because a school can't stay open is ridiculous.
