The teachers at Giffen are dedicated to their kids and make sure they receive a quality education. I've never been happier with the public school teaching environment.
Academic programs are great. My daughter got perfect score in NY state ELA exam & 4.0 GPA in all other subjects. Earned $8000.00 scholarship to go to private school for middle school.

There are so many more programmes. The best elementary school in city of Albany- academically & as far as the affordability is concern. It is safe too.
It's a wonderful school with so many different academic & sports related programme. Free afterschool programme & hard working teachers & principles.
