GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers at this school don't take the time to work with students who really need it- there seems to be more emphasis in working with the students who seem to grasp the material, but students who need help don't get it. Then the teachers simply advance or "Pass" the students who are behind, who are struggling, the teachers pass those students up to the next grade- even though they aren't ready or capable- thus setting that student up to struggle and fail, and eventually end up dropping out.

There are very many caring teachers who truly wish to see their students succeed, but there is not enough discipline to keep students in check.

The school gave the best opportunities it could given it is small and very little money. You had to work for what you got and that could be a lot. However the student body did not care as much as it should have and were not always the best people.

The Leadership at Cohoes High is horrendous. Nobody holds anyone accountable, from administration to coaching staff. Mediocrity is acceptable here.

The stress of common core broke my daughter in 9th grade. We got her into counseling while launching an initiative to homeschool her. The school threatened to hold her back all year only to push her through at the end of the year. Homeschool scholastic testing showed she was ready to enter 8th grade...

I loved this school, I wish I could go back. Most of the students were respectful. Of course you will have that few who disrupt class, but very limited here. Teachers will take their time with you if needed. Everyone I knew loved it at Cohoes High School.
