The young people I know who attend are very high achievers, the teaching staff is extremely dedicated and they are at the top of the game in their sports achievements
The teaching here is horrible, especially the electives. They teach to do well on the hspa. Some teachers actually tell the students that they don't understand what they are teaching and skip over the material.
Thi school is going nowhere but down. As the new superintendent has called it, 2008-2009 will be the year of the high school. The only problem is that this past summer the best teachers in both history and mathematics have left to work in better school districts, thus leaving their new 'Gold Acadmeny' and four AP courses to suffer. The school will not be as good as it was in 2007 until new administration is hired and this school district can finally learn to retain good teachers. Stay awa from PTHS if at all possible!!!
The school divided against itself can not stand. Such is Pequannock H.S.. Teacher union is weak. Administration is inapt but fancy themselves outstanding. Students suffer the consequences. In general, there is more committement to penny-pinching than education. Of excellence there can be no talk at all.
I have found the elementary schools to be substantially behind the Randolph school system in both academics and extra curricular activities.
I would advise anyone planning to attend PTHS to go to a different school. PTHS is breaking down. Teachers are leaving and test scores are going down. There are many extracurricular activities but parent involvement is limited.
