After having my two kids attend ALMS, during Covid for my oldest one, and now my youngest finishing 8th grade, I am compelledto write a review and give credit to the work being done at this school from a parent perspective. The principal, Mrs Edwards, seems to have brought a lot of improvement to the school activities, communication and students well being. I have seen improvements in my child’s performance at school, the music department is impressive, and the extracurricular activities are abundant (arts, science, sports!). Completely recommend this school for it’s diversity and academic offering and kudos to the staff for doing a great job!

Webster is a real community school and that was demonstrated more than ever in the last 2 years. The teachers are all invested in the kids and families and the administration knows every child. Families participate in the community activities and get to know each other. The academics are also rigorous and there are enrichment opportunities for kids of all abilities. I have 2 kids in 2nd and 4th grade. They excel in math and need support in reading and have received services and opportunities for both. When I have needed to speak with their teachers or the principal, they have all without exception been responsive and made time for me. Likewise the school nurses know and follow up on each child's health. We have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Webster and I know many families who would agree.

New Rochelle High School is going downhill fast. Despite increased funding, the school has cut honors classes, reducing academic rigor for motivated students. The athletic department is poorly run, disorganized, and unaccountable, with constant mismanagement and lack of transparency. More money, fewer opportunities, and worse outcomes. Families deserve better. The Superintendent is arrogant and could care less for these kids.
