During my time attending Poughkeepsie high school I have had the opportunity to witness the shift of behavior over the last two years, Poughkeepsie used to be one the most violent schools in the area but under the administration of the new principal Dr. Simpson, Poughkeepsie he's generally seen improvement in violence and academics.

Going there was great the diversity was all spread out the classes I took were AP courses which were challenging. The only downside was the safety and the administration not having enough control over the students.

Poughkeepsie High School has great potential. In my experience, it is not on the teachers, guidance counselors, or the students who are to blame for the poor experience but rather on the administrators. It's no secret that Poughkeepsie is unorganized and lacks discipline; they need to get a plan and stick with it rather than change it constantly or not enforce it.
