My daughter who joined the school as a Kindergarten and is now a first grader has had an excellent experience! One of the big three factors when choosing to move out of Brooklyn was settling in a district with a great school school system. While Croton did not reach 10's across the board, we did our research and discovered the numbers by themselves can be misleading, and boy are we glad we did the research. It is a smaller school district that allows for as much or as little parent involvement as one would like. Any time I have felt the need to ask a question or express a concern, especially as a new parent to an elementary school child I was treated with respect, a rapid response and overall felt heard. One of the the more suprising encounters we have had is with our high school age babysitters. The teenagers we have met are bright, respectful and speak of tolerance and acceptance across the high school community which is encouraging for the future of our children. Lastly, I can say during the unprecedented Covid times we are currently dealing with, the school has done a good job communicating with parents and doing everything within their power to keep the children and teachers in school safely and with as little interruption as possible. We are thrilled to be apart of this community.

We recently moved here from NYC and have been extremely happy with the school. There’s a lot of support and communication from the administration. The classes have been challenging but fair and teachers are attentive and supportive. It’s really a terrific environment filled with kind students.

I've sent all four of my children through PVC (Pre-COVID).All were taught by experienced veteran teachers. The Principal (then Vice Principal) instituted a very effective anti-bulling program.The school is very strong in the arts. The curriculum revolves a lot around the colonial period and the Hudson River.The district has a strong Board, and parental involvement is encouraged.There is a growing number of Latino immigrant students, and the support and encouragement they get will be key to the future success of the school.Middle School years are difficult, and Iooking back, I really have perspective now on how good a school PVC is for it's small size.
