Nope but have lived in the Capital Region for nearly 20 years. Actually have a friend who just bought a house in East Greenbush because of the school system and the proximity to Albany/Troy for employment.
I think they may have a good chance, as the city has so many school options for its size and while Troy High may get a bad rap, its graduation rate is actually above average regularly(well within the 80's in terms of percentage). Troy High info: https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000039478
Troy City SD also covers some areas just outside of the city to the east.
Lansingburgh in most of the northern portion of the city excluding the inner North (Central) neighborhood and covers some towns just outside of that part of the city, has a grad rate that is a little under the state and national figure: https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000039582
So, this is a small SD that allows for its students after 8th grade to attend the high school of 4 adjacent school districts or to attend a charter HS option in Tech Valley HS.
So, that would still put you very close to Troy(and Albany), while being in a very diverse and high quality school system, with multiple good options for high school. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Me...!4d-73.7245639

So, these are some other things to potentially consider that are a little bit unconventional.
Thank you so much. I would love to ask one more question if you don't mind. I was told that Niskayuma SD is stronger in academic (which I really care) compared to other SDs. What do you think?

Thanks a lot.
Historically, Niskayuna is a top 2-3 SD in the area. Bethlehem is also right there. As mentioned in another thread, both are right next to a couple of the city centers(Niskayuna is next to Schenectady and Bethlehem is next to Albany).
This is where I think Menands comes into play with your situation. It is just across the River from Troy, while also being a highly regarded school (district). It also allows for your child(ren) to attend a very good HS in Shaker High in the very good North Colonie SD(top 5-10 and another SD to consider) or a charter HS in Tech Valley HS, among others. So, that is why I mentioned it, as it is more in line with what you are looking for.

Just to add OP, Bethlehem would be closer to Troy/RPI than Niskayuna.
