One of the best school we’ve seen.

We've been a part of the Troy Athens High School community since 2017.   Each of our daughters' experiences have been positively impacted by the staff who are well-trained, care about their students, and go above and beyond to support and encourage the students.   Administration and staff have created a positive environment that helps to challenge students to do their best in both academic and social situations.  As parents, we have worked hard to do our part, in partnership with the Athens staff.   There are many ways to get involved at Athens and be a part of this community.   We are very lucky to have had our children attend Troy Athens!  We have one more child to graduate from Athens and we will forever be grateful to the Athens staff and community. 

We love our sons school. The principal is great, even as a new principal (in her 3rd year now). The teachers at Barnard have a great program for each grade so collaboration among teachers in each grade level is well done. My child has no academic issues but when he needs some emotional support the social worker is there to help! The school feels inviting as a parent and there are many opportunities to be a parent volunteer (recess & lunch duty daily. I’m very happy with my child’s experience at Barnard, they’re good to him & to us parents & I’m thankful they’re helping my child develop a love of learning.

This was by far the biggest disappointment of my child’s educational career thus far. He attended in 2021-2022 for 1 year & it was a nightmare. From having no access inside the school & never seeing his classroom, there was zero parent/family engagement & his teacher was the very WORST. This is that 1 teacher our whole family will never forget! She was old, ready to retire, lacked energy & a genuine “boy hater”. I tried to contact the Director Erin many times throughout that year via phone, voicemail & email and she never responded. This was not worth the $900 a month for preschool & after this experience my son developed horrible separation anxiety & did not develop a curiosity or love of school. So sad, I wish I went into the school & demanded a class/teacher change but I was too afraid to cause problems so early in his schooling. I will never make that mistake again :( I hope Erin Keyser improved her communication skills with parents but this should be the top priority of a preschool director aside from the children. Be very careful to ask all the questions you have and stay on top of everything at this preschool. It was a horrible year for my son & so sad to think back on now that he is
