I have had two kids go through here and I substitute teach here. Im so impressed by the atmosphere. The kids are happy and respectful. The school runs like clockwork. Very organized. No drama. And New York teachers have masters degrees by law do they are highly qualified and know their subject matter. Also, the counseling department is incredible.

New from another state. This school feels particularly organized and dialed in. Teachers and administrators are extremely positive. My kids are both happy.
My only suggestion would be an adding a bit more creativity to the classroom experience.

Very disorganized and immature teachers, disorganized staff, and antiquated methods used on special education students and classrooms.

The school didn't allow it's students to bike to school up until a few years ago that came out of strong pressure from outside groups. The school needs to put a greater emphasis on individuality, community and individual health and ween the student's off of their overbearing parents.

the school needs to get with it and catch on with more progressive teaching, how students arrive to school (think "safe routes to school") and get rid of their high security initiatives. Creating greater compassion and understanding in the students is where it needs to start...love, love, love

Bullying is rampant. Students carry knives and threaten other students. The principal and superintendant are worthless . The slanderous and libel name callinf that these bullies inflict upon thei victims at this school are ripe for lawsuits,. And one day lawsuits will be filed against this school

Middle school is a challenging time for kids and I think Maple Ave does the best it can. There are many after school activities for kids if they want to take advantage of them.

This is among the worst schools in New York State. Bullying and tormenting run rampant and nothing is done about it by the teachers and especially the administration. My son had the misfortune of having to go through this school and the situation was so awful that I had to pull him out of the district. The principal, Stuart F. Byrne, doesn't have the leadership and organizational skills to run a Dairy Queen let alone a school of 1,500 children. This school needs reform and needs it fast.

I am in 7C (columbian, 7th grade) I Love this school as much as a kid likes school. Columbian spring doesnt get to go on a lot of feild trips but we do get to do a lot of fun projects rather then sitting in a class room all day. The food is better then most and the staff is exceptionally nice. If the a student needs more help in a class teachers stay after on Wensdays and Thursdays and buses are availble for after school transportation if someone is unavailble to pick up a student.

The school is by no means perfect, and as an institution does a very poor job in regards to parent communication. However, my son is challenged (in both enriched and regular classes) and has terrific teachers who are very responsive to my inquiries. I check edline and the online grading site on a regular basis and stay in contact with teachers via email. I have yet to NOT get a response from a teacher. I have been invited to participate in classes by teachers and have issues and concerns resolved quickly and effectively. Overall, it has been a good experience.

If your child is in need of special education I say - stay out of this school and start finding your own resources. My child has been plagued by lack of resources and by teachers not qualified to work with special needs children all the way up to the superintendant level. While we have encountered some rare quality teacher - mostly 6th and 7th grade suppport, the majority of the teacher are rude and unhelpful. In no other industry are employees allowed to treat cllents the way that unionized teachers are allowed to hold on to theri jobs despite poor performance. My child is now in the 8th grade with consistant low 2 on regent exams. We have had to supplement his education continually at our financial cost. I wish I could do it again. I should have sent him to a private school. Did'nt think we could afford it but it has cost us beyond private school with little return. Now, how do we fix it?

If the school principal of Maple Ave can not properly recite the pledge of allegiance over the intercom to the kids he is leading, I have to ask, why is he still the leader? Hello......... Very large school, as a whole, the teachers do a pretty good job. If you excel academically you will do well at Maple, because there are lots of programs for you. If you need help, that's another story. If your child is in Excellsior Spring, forget about them going on any trips. Due to an incident 3 years ago on a field trip, the teachers are still punishing the students by limiting their trips. The other springs attend many more trips. I addressed this with Excellsior team/teachers. They refused to address it and gave me a lame excuse to shut me up.
