Four Points

Because they have great teachers to teach students to help them grow

Radium Elementary School is the best public elementary school in Albany. I know that my child is kept safe and she learns well there. I know that she is happy and in a good school. When she is sick she still wants to go to school. The entire staff is professional and always friendly.

I have a daughter who attended her 4th and 5th grade years and a stepdaughter who is an upcoming senior at this school. I love this school! The school is very structured and he children are well-behaved. I will not lie to you--the kids have a lot of homework and projects throughout the year, but it makes the kids more self-disciplined, responsible, and active in their learning. Both of my girls came from a regular public school and did not have a clue on how to write in cursive. Within a month, both of them were writing in cursive smoothly! The only concern I have is the bullying among students on a couple of occasions. I do believe this problem needs to be addressed with parents, students, and teachers.The teachers are well-qualified and patient with their students. I love the principal and his administration staff! If you are ready to be involved in your patient's learning, then this is the school for you! If you want a more structured and responsible child, then this is the school for you! I would highly recommend this school to anyone! GO LEMS LIONS!!!
