Bunch of primates and their ape parents. No learning happens and all grades are inflated 200 percent.
Posted by a community member on 12/9/2025It is definitely the best high school in Rochester.
Posted by a parent on 12/6/2019Great. I graduated in 1962 and the school was superb. Almost everyone in my class had enough credit to graduate after 11th grade but we needed to take English 4 to complete all our requirements. However, we wanted to load up on AP classes so we stayed another year. I had some of the same teachers as

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average1. Issues are swept under the rug. 2. After principal Palermo left, the school is out of control. The current principal & vice principal walks around all day with a walkie talkie like they are working. Or, they aren't in the office to meet with parents. 3. The red (bad), yellow (so-so), and green (great) daily behavior process is a waste of time. Just call or email the parents from time with concerns about behavior. It's common sense. 4. Teachers don't answer calls or voicemails. 5. When problems arise between students in the classroom, most teachers send the children to another class without notifying parents. 6. The school lunch is not up to par. The lunchroom staff have to step their game up; I know you have rodents and other issues, I saw the reports online.This school is very small and old. Clara Barton # 2 needs a makeover inside and out.Hire staff that wants to teach and teach well. Create an inviting environment for parents. In my opinion, the school needs to close down.Parent Review10y ago - Anna Murray-Douglass Academy

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis has got to be one of the most unorganized schools in the district. Teachers are disrespectful and I do not think they actually care about how these kids do in school, it’s obvious from the test scores. Do yourself a favor and avoid sending your child here.Parent Review1y ago - School 35 Pinnacle

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son loves his school! We have been very happy with his progress, and love the supportive and safe environment created by the teachers and staff. I recommend this school, especially to anyone in the neighborhood, and would strongly encourage parents to think twice before moving out of the Rochester school district. School 35 is a wonderful place to learn and grow for children!Parent Review6y ago - School 58 World Of Inquiry School
