Niskayuna has an excellent reputation, so no need to look further. Half of the people I work with live in Niskayuna and they seem to have only two complaints about the schools: 1) In high school, if you are not an honors or AP student you are ignored or given short shrift by teachers and administration. 2) The parents - some tend to be neurotic and drill their kids over the summer, have them read the books for the next grade, etc. so if your kids just do the assigned summer assignments, they end up behind their classmates in the fall. Of course, these are not scientific observations, just the experience of my colleagues.
Like other high-scoring school districts, the families tend to be well-off. However, because of the proximity of GE, which has lots of international employees, the schools tend to be somewhat less homogenous than the average high-scoring district.
