Giffen Memorial Elementary School

this school is horrible to both students and staff

this school isint really that good because of the toxicity and probaly evan racism.I would NOT recommened this school if you dont want your child to lose their sanity with this building.also i feel like the nurses there barley do anything.Like if you bruise your knee,ice pack,have blood pouring out of your neck,ice pack,if you have a BIG bruise with blood gushing out,ice pack like they only use a ice pack if you are hurt like they gota use bandages or casts.also,the salary at the school is horrible,they barely pay the teachers aything but they can build a large school build like why cant they pay the teachers more.If any teacher is reading this,get a better job.

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.
