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 educational opportunities at Queensbury are very good, compared to other schools in the area. I would like to see an improvement in the methods used to address issues at the school such as violence, bullying, drug use, and vandalism. Teacher engagement should also be further evaluated (this issue may be caused by the pattern of teachers being paid significantly less than other schools in the surrounding area).

Throughout my expierence at Queensbury High School ther have been many issues regarding racism and other issues along cultural differences. The school didnt take appropriate neasures to help these students facing these struggles and ultimately they spiraled. Queensbury tries to pride itself on their worst atribute because in reality the majority of students feel anything but accepted.

While the the school itself is beautiful there was always a very opposite end of amazing teachers and horrible biased teachers. Bullying was very overlooked but not a common thing for everyone from my experience. Administration and staff were similar with some being absolutely amazing but many more...
