The secretary wont hesitate to try and guilt trip you to adhere to what other parents do when faced with a crisis which I found to be completely inappropriate. The principal is a bit of a pushover and wont really stand up to HIS staff. My oldest was the subject of Islamophobia at the end of the year. One of the other kids from another class tore her Hijab off her head and I didnt hear A THING about it until I picked my daughter from daycare without her hijab we later went to the park that they visited and found it but there was NO explanation, apology (for obviously NOT protecting my child while in her care. The teacher was Jennifer Ducharme so be careful leaving your kid(s) in her class. That said,i wont deny that the schools teaching methods are effective seeing that my kids have indeed gotten smarter and were in fact given tools to further learning.

Terrible school kids picked on me and teachers didn't stop them and picked on me as well just for having a disability. If you have a kid with any disabilities, DO NOT send them here.

We have been in Arongen since our son started Kindergarten in 2011. We could not be happier. We have an older child that attended another Shenendehowa school prior to this and Arongen definitely has a more engaged Principal and the best PTA we have ever experienced. The diversity helps make the school more well-rounded and the families are typically involved a lot with their children's schooling. The only drawback to this school is it's reputation for being the least of all Shen elementary schools. We have yet to understand why, when the teachers and support staff are all very interested in helping the children there succeed.
