I of course had good and bad experiences with this school, as many do. Some of the teachers had much to be desired. Some who didn't seem to like me, and wouldn't treat me professionally because of this. Other teachers I had great experiences with, ones who were caring and made class enjoyable.

Point Pleasant Borough High School is located in a nice suburban town. The academics are good, and their wide array of dual-enrollment and AP courses makes me feel more than prepared for furthering my educational career. Their arts programs are phenomenal, and the staff is very nice and supporting.
