We've been very impressed with the school's english/spanish bi-lingual education program (called the Dual Language (DL) Program). 1/2 the class are native Spanish speakers and half are native English speakers. 3 days are all in Spanish and 2 days are all in English. The principle is very proud of this program, as are the DL teachers. Because it is a competative program, the parents whose kids are in the DL program are very invested in their children's education. The only problem in my view is that there are so few spots and such high demand. It also seems that the Albany County school district is continually threatening to end this program which would be one of the saddest developments in our school district.
This school is wonderful for children and families that want/need a bilingual experience.
There is an immersion English/Spanish program housed here that enriches the entire school community. New building and playground are very nice, but it's getting a little crowded with the addition of PreK classes that were not planned for.
