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.

Pleasantville is a very nice school to attend. Great people, great community. I have attended since Pre-school and have constantly had more and more people moving here. I think it is very welcoming.

I think I was pretty prepared, but could have been a little more. High school teachers give you chances to turn in late work, will hunt you down and ask you about it and then give you, usually, full credit for the work. College doesn't do any of that. I had to learn, and fast. As far as classes and prep for college, they were available for those who wanted them.
