We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

while i was there, my experience was quite interesting. I was a transfer student coming from the caribbean, so i had to readjust. My teachers were nice and welcoming but the students, so much. my only problem was getting counseling from counselors. i wished they would've guided me better.

My experience at Pine Bush Senior High School has been nothing but positive. My favorite part about the school is being a part of the track team and being recongized for my hard work. The worst part is that sometimes it can be ran a little sloppy. I would love to see everyone come together and have more school spirit.

I had a very pleasant time attending Pine Bush High School. The teachers that I had were great and they really made themselves available to go to for help, which in turn helped me get better in my classes. I mainly kept to myself so the student aspect was never a problem for me. And overall my experience here was just fine.

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 teache...

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 A...
