The Peekskill School System is has a worse reputation then it deserves. My son has learning disabilities and has received a great deal of extra help. The teachers are wonderful

The teachers in the Peeksill school system are extremely dedicated to the success of their students. I have had 2 children with learning disabilities and my mind was always at ease knowing that they were in the hands of these teachers. I now have a daughter in college studying law and would like to thank the staff at PHS for their dedication especially Mrs. Wychunas.

there is a possibility of a lot of parent involvement with many pya meetings and resourses. There is much bilingual (spanish)information for parents. For certain classes they have music (recorder) and concert singing for holiday. Academis programs are available. It is not as strong as local parocial school. Much of the learning is expected to me done for homeworek.. Less class learning is done. Also as a result of a smaller buddget, student work out of composton books instead of a write in notebook. This make it harder for students and parents to follow along with the days classroom learning. In a small city, polotical voting is stron. And information to resources and votes conducted often. Many snow days as a result of living in a snowwy district. Affordable atercare program which also inclusdes district children from the parochial school. The aftershcool mprogram is fun for kids but not very structured.

I think all Peekskill schools are the best. Our staff members have many challanges that they overcome on a daily basis. If we tracked our children that stay in the district from K-12 I think the report card would look much different.
