I have two sons, one is now a Freshman and the other is in 7th grade. I have been very happy with all of their teachers. (Alpha, Zeta, Omega teams). They are all genuine in their care and desire for my sons academic achievement. My older son was on the High Honor roll for almost all of his middle school career and my younger son has been on the Honor Roll for the same. The principals are also highly commendable and personable.

My daughter had the best experience at this school,she enjoyed going to school every day. She loved most of her teachers and was given personal attention when she needed a bit extra help. As a parent, I found the control of the school to be beyond my expectations. The staff have full control and students understand and follow the rules for the most part. I was most impressed with the enforcement of the dress code. I found other schools in Greece to be lax on the code, but Apollo students were sent home if they did meet the code.

As a parent of an 8th grader, and just moving into greece area about a year ago, I truly enjoyed the professionalism of the teachers and sincere concerns about my daughter's academics. The open communication of phone calls, e-mails and the school website helps parents to stay up to date with their child's progress in school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
