Pine Bush Senior High School

I recently graduate from Pine Bush, and even though we all say we can't wait to leave and go away, I miss it. There's such a sense of community in the town and a majority of the teachers love their jobs. Of course there are teachers who shouldn't be in the profession, but at PBHS, most of the teachers should be. Pine Bush is a community town and I am so proud of it and to say this is my hometown.

This school, while it has it's downfalls as all schools do, has absolutely amazing programs. We have recently started summer programs in which the students can earn college credits, as well as some high school credits, during the summer. The Science Academy stays at the SUNY Cortland campus in the Adirondacks for a week and learn about the ecosystem and biology of the organisms in the area. The Law and Leadership Academy is trained by a military drill Sergeant for a few weeks while also completing book work. The list goes on. As a student I have encountered, in the staff particularly, some of the best people I feel I will ever encounter in my life. It is truly a wonderful school!

I was able to earn 12 college credits and the teachers are amazing. I really felt like everyone wanted to help me. I loved this school and I feel it is one the best places I could have gone

PBHS is crowded now, but that will ease as this year's freshmen are the largest cohort in the pipeline. Staff is effective with disruptors. Tutoring is available. Regents classes have repeaters, so that gives freshman food for thought. Quality of teaching varies; tutor may be necessary. Plan on paying for some classes - PBHS is pushing dual enrollment. Music and drama are great. Lots of support for LD. Grading system needs changed to something that weighs academics more than behavior.
