For the most part, this school I feel is pretty good, I have found PV to be a rollercoaster of classes with so many fun ones should one make the best out of it and some that aren't too great, but none were awful. I enjoyed the after-school activities and found it fun to hear shoutouts of accomplishments but feel like the school could directly help more of the clubs and extracurriculars and could have made a better experience for everyone, but they were fun, nonetheless.

Pleasant Valley High School has been an average public high school experience, I have seen the good, the bad and everything in between. The teachers are very friendly and helpful to students who fall behind but the school does not offer much for those who are ahead. Many AP classes are unavailable which is a very poor thing about the school and the counselors simply do not offer enough help.

The school does not care about students at all. Most teachers don't care although there are a couple good ones.

The fact that there is no Social Worker and the Counselors have 400+ students is a big problem. Hire a Social Worker and 2 more School Counselors and see the difference!
