Delaware Community School

Administration can be confrontational children complaints are thrown under the rug. Unfriendly environment, bullying, and confidential information spoke out in the open.

Both of my children have had an excellent experience at this school. They have continued to perform well due to the great teachers they have had and a comfortable learning environment. This school also has the diversity of a city school which was important to our family and allows them to interact with different races, religions and economic backgrounds.

ASH has a wonderful school community and many opportunities for arts enrichment. Teachers are dedicated.

In full disclosure I do not have a child at this school. I am a legal professional and have consulted with a family regarding their child's experience at Albany Academy. What I have heard from this family regarding the treatment of their child has propelled me to warn other families. The school offers top notch academic and arts programs. However, their approach to the social and emotional well being of their students can only be viewed (in my opinion) as irresponsible and actually unsafe. If your child struggles with making friends, feeling or looking 'different' or has a history of being bullied I would STRONGLY suggest that you find another spot for your child. Your child's emotional health is just as important as their academic success.
