Poughkeepsie Day School in an intresting place. It is extreamly small and that makes the social life difficult but on the education side it is quite good. Teachers are very involed and atntive. They teach about things they actualy care about and it makes class much more intresting.

PDS is a great school if you like small, close-knit community. you get to interact a lot with your teachers and really get to know your classmates. PDS has great humanities/literature program and the science program are great if you are interested in biology or physics. However, due to the small size of the school there are not enough resources to have a wide variety of subjects, such as economics. Although the school don't offer APs teachers help student prep for exams in Calc. In general people at pds are very liberal and open to things.

Students here are not the type to bully. There was only 1 case of bullying, and students stood up for the kid being bullied and supported him. LGBT is very accepted, and there are never any fights.

PDS has been a game changer for our family. After moving to the area with little knowledge of the public schools, we were looking for something different for our curious and motivated kids. We started our younger daughter in pre-K and moved our older daughter to the school after a great first year....

This is our second year at PDS. We finally found a progressive school and a wonderful environment that suits our family. We plan to be part of PDS for many years. Please read the reviews carefully, many responses are from years ago. The school is not the same as back then. It is worth your time to c...
