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.

This school is not focused on academics, more than a few children have left this school below grade level.

My daughter is graduating next month. She’s behind in just about every subject besides ELA. The math teacher has no degree, and no knowledge of the subject. The science teacher is using chat gpt to make lessons and has accidentally left the prompts up on his assignments. Bullying is a real issue, and when my child brought it up to the principal, she was told that there must be an underlying issue with her and she’s only saying it to get attention. We’ve had to get her therapy to deal with her anxieties based around the school. If she wasn’t three weeks from graduation, we would remove her immediately.
