Grossly over rated school with generally vile, low class families. The students/kids all look alike: too- short dark hair, big noses and bigger mouths. This school system can't even keep a principal. Student go on to mediocre schools the best being Syracuse, Michigan and Cornell ( but not Cornell's real/Ivy colleges. The mothers that are involved are strictly looking after/keeping tabs on their own offspring. Anyone with any money in Ryebrook has parents/inlaws paying all their bills, including the Mercedes'.

First off - it's cliques not cliches and every school has them. Second, I barely passed and yet received a good education. You'll feel sorry for anyone that never had the opportunity to go to a solid public school like this. Last, the teachers need an attitude adjustment. They're okay, but they're just not that great. They rest on their laurels. They are sarcastic and caustic most of the time.

Not a great school. Some of the teachers are not reliable, students have own 'cliches'. My daughter hates it. No after school programs.

Blind Brook and the entire district is exceptional... it is one of the top school districts in the area and anyone whom is lucky enough to attend this amazing school will take with them a life time of intellect and achievement. It prepares you for life and all aspects.... it is truly the greatest educational system and I would beyond highly recommend this district to all families! BG .. alumni

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in English, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, Earth science and physics. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
