my main issue with the school is too much unsupervised time where kids have the opportunity to bully and no one seems to do anything about it. My child is bullied mainly on the bus. She says the bus driver plays music so loud she doesn't hear what is going on. A lot also goes on in the lunch room and on the play ground. I don't think the new principal has a clue. She has a great teacher and is learning in the classroom but does not want to go to school because of problems with other students.

We have been a part of this school since 2018 and are very happy with our children’s progress. My daughter “graduated” from here and has moved on to middle school and still talks about her time at Fishkill Plains. My son is currently there and is very happy. Principal Fazio is lovely and knows every child by name! The school is small in comparison to other local elementary schools and I love that about Fishkill Plains. Highly recommend!

Wonderful small school with incredible staff! Both of my chick seen attended Vassar and they both had great experiences that have them their needed foundations and prepared them for more intense work at the higher grade levels.

Please bear in mind that at this time Poughkeepsie Day School is PreK-8. The site has shown erroneously that it operates a high school. It does not do so in 2026.
