Pleasant Valley High School

I go to Pleasant Valley High School. Let's put it this way the school is terrible. The end.

Pleasant Valley is definitely not a school to be proud of. In the middle school most of the staff admits they do not like children or their jobs. The students are put into two different "grades" of classes, the HL and CC classes. The HL classes are treated with more respect and courtesy, but the work is harder. The CC classes are treated with much less respect and do not get the help they need. Teachers in this school are stereotypical when it comes to the different classes of students. The teachers are also downright lazy when it comes to their job. The few good teachers give adequate work, care about their students and their grades and do not complain to the students about their personal life.

Personally I love PV. The teachers care and the work can be difficult, but also very simple. There are so many clubs and groups to be apart of. School here is enjoyable.

hi, im currently a student at pleasant valley high school and im in the 10th grade. i think this school is okay and that there is always room for improvement and there is no perfect school. but the way the teachers teach sometimes is weird because it doesnt have anything to do with the tests/quizes/homework. i think there are way to many rules but it doesnt matter because they dont enforce it that much and even if they did the students wouldnt listen. the school is getting overcrowded and they need to do something about it immediately. it makes no sense how the 9th grade is in a middle school and how also the other grades got moved down one. they should make the high school three floors because then there would be enough room and also more space for the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade.

I personally think this school is terrible. The teachers rarely have any interest in their students, they express themselves to be superior to the students and co-workers. Everything seems to be very disorganized and cheap. I would not recommend sending any child to this school, especially the middle/high school.

My child has attended Pleasant Valley school since first grade. The school system in general has been disappointing. The high school even more so. There are not enough teachers. Classrooms are too large and the quality of education suffers. Every year a large majority of students scheldules are wrong at the beginning of the year and since there are not enough guidance counselors to handle the amount of schedule conflicts it usually takes weeks before a student can get into the correct classes making them miss several weeks of classroom work. If your child attends this school keep on top of their records because the office personal makes numerous mistakes on attendance and grade records. I strongly believe that this school's priorities are not in the students best interest or in academic excellence.

It's a pretty good school. I graduated in June of 2005, and I can safely say that I got along with most of the staff. Mr. Dimmick is an incredible principal.

I graduated PV last year. Little attention is paid to individual students (heaven forbid you have a learning disorder) and some administration members posses a severe superiority complex. However, the few friendly staff members almost make up for this. It is difficult to advance yourself through classes, because the guidance department doesn't really want to be bothered with your schedule. They like to waste a lot of money on building too-small schools and then put students in modulars. It's wonderful.

The school is overcrowded, they spend money on useless things.

This school is way behind most other schools. There should be a dress code.
