Since they have been in this school district they have been verbally physically and emotionally bullied and suffer from depression and anxiety due to treatment they have received while in Greece Central School District. All three of my children have been constantly called the N word to this day they are also called other demeaning slurs. My son was threatened with a knife by a white student and nothing was done about it. I highly believe that if my black son had pulled a knife on a white child he would have faced serious consequences but this child faced none I even called the cops but nothing was done. When my sin attended Elementary school he was bullied and nothing was done. One particular incident in middle school my son had an appointment and couldn't attend school that Monday so he didn't receive words for a quiz I asked for the words everyday that week and never received them so of course he failed the quiz that Friday he was disappointed and explained to his teacher and was told by his teacher that he didn't have to study the words he was going to go onto the next grade level when I addressed this to the teacher she told me the same thing and I asked her why would my son not learn at school and if she told other parents this and she replied she didn't mean it that way. My twin daughters attended English elementary school, there they were physically and verbally bullied called the N word plenty of times and the teachers and principal did absolutely nothing about it I would bring these concerns to them and nothing was done a teacher actually got upset with me for wanting a particular child to stop hitting my daughters she stated "he has a problem " when I replied his problem shouldn't be my daughters and that they never hit him back and it needed to stop she replied "they are not to hit him back. One of my daughters referred to herself as a black and proud princess and her teacher responded, "Why would you want to be that just say princess" as if it's a bad thing to be black a student even touched my daughter in a very inappropriate manner and nothing was done. They then went to Lakeshore Elementary School where they continued to be verbally and physically bullied and called the N word on several occasions at this school. A teacher pushed one of my daughters and nothing was done about. A teacher also poked my daughters hand and of course nothing was done about it she said "I didn't mean it that way " and a teacher yanked my daughters hair and NOTHING was done about it she also said "I didn't mean it that way " kids kept pulling my daughters hair and I mentioned it several times to their teachers and was told that "the kids are curious about their braids and beads " I then told her they needed to stop pulling my daughters hair it wasn't ok for them to do so this conversation happened more than once and the teachers did not stop the children from pulling their hair but made excuses for them. After constantly telling the teachers to stop the children from doing this and my daughters asking the kids to stop one of my daughters hair and braid was pulled out from the root and nothing was done about it. I emailed the superintendent and I had the option of my children being transferred to a different elementary school. The day I visited that school I received a call from the school they were in Lakeshore Elementary school a child had spit in one of my daughters face. When my daughter came home she informed me that the white boy spit in her face for no reason and the teacher went to him and comforted him and said "you didn't mean it right" while she stood alone with spit on her face. They then transferred to Buckman Heights Elementary School they were still called the N word but for once something was done about it the acting principles at the time ( Mr Reaves) took these incidents seriously and my daughters were able to feel comfort and confident in Mr Reaves which they had never felt before. Unfortunately Mr Reaves left the school and that security they felt was gone children repeatedly called them the N word and other cruel slurs and physically assaulted as well. There was a incident were a teacher asked the students what their favorite food was when it was one of my daughters turn as she thought about it the teacher said "fried chicken " and the teachers and students laughed except for my daughters of course. When I addressed this issue the teacher responded "I didn't mean it that way ". While on their school bus one day a child again used the N word, one of my daughters brought it to the bus monitor's attention and the bus monitor replied "don't you guys use it, why do you guys get upset when other people use it but you guys use it " my daughter then stated that

I stood up to my bully today and she still beat me up but in my defense that eighty year old sure knows how to fight. One time was just standing around playing on my phone and then boom, someone stole my underpants, I had to walk around for the rest of the day uncomfortable because of that jerk. Plus when I went to check if I still had underpants on, which i didn't my phone was stolen. And two months ago George brought a rabid badger on a stick and beat me up with it. The spitballs have evolved into an blow darts with cyanide tips, I have to carry around antidotes. I am obviously joking though, my bully is only 75. It's a great school though.

My kid went and shadowed a student for a day and loved it. So we applied. They questioned his…read moreschool records....questioned his absences from the previous year, as if him being out of school for week due to bronchitis was an issue, or missing a couple days out the year due to doctors appointments or being sick was also an issue. Questioned his lower reading scores, even after I explained he has a learning disability and basically begged the school to give him a chance. And like another private school in Rochester, they also didn't give me any decision whatsoever. So if your child has a learning disability don't bother with this school cause there's no compassion. They couldn't even bother to let me know whether my kid was accepted or rejected!

I cannot imagine my daughter anywhere else and it makes me feel very good as a parent to know that she is at the best school in Rochester.

The exterior is a mix of a modern addition to a classic era feeling. It is quite a large school for a small community so I kind of feel it might too large but I wouldn't know that. The interior is what really needs to be helped. The greenish-blue floor tiles are beginning to fade, ceiling tiles are coming apart, and there is a non-functioning waterfall near the entrance that I recall, used to run. If this was only styling based, this was probably a lower rating but as a high school, I absolutely loved my time and made some great memories, but I don't feel like it's ever going to age very well with time.
