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!

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.

I thank Mr Miele for sitting with me 5 years ago and asking me to give Ward Elementary a chance. It was a life changing experience for my child and I truly owe it to the staff at the school. She developed academically, socially, and emotionally...I could not ask for more...and she would not have thrived as much without the nurturing and support she received in that school.
