POBCSD needs to stop feeding into the test machine. If you're going to force kids who take the AP classes to take the test, the least you could do is pay the +$90 fee for them. I also recently learned that we don't have to take Regents exams. Some students get overwhelmed with testing, and everyone feels stupid when they get a bad grade. Tests aren't always indicative of how well students perform, so there's no point in basing our entire structure around them. It just creates undue stress on kids that are already put to the limit. This is further exemplified by the creation of the LEAPS and CHAPS classes, forcing kids to take AP exams and Regents exams in their early years of high school.
Furthermore, some of the teachers are very problematic. The choir teacher was literally caught having a relationship with his then-student and is still WORKING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. The health teacher, who is in charge of teaching our kids about LGBTQ+, has said problematic things about trans people.

Plainview-Old Bethpage John F Kennedy High School is a fantastic highschool to send your kids too in every way! The kids here are friendly, most of the time, very very smart, and talented! The academics at POB are one of the very best in the state! I prefer POB over other highly rated districts like Jericho and Syosset because although POB is very academically competitive you still feel at ease attending the highschool! The staff and guidance counseler are super sweet! The food is good for high school food especially the wraps! Additionally, it is very obvious that safety is important to the district! I have never ever felt in danger when I am in school and that is one of my favorite things! POB is amazing!
Great school district with wonderful programs for all students at various schools. POBJFKHS at Plainview-Old Bethpage offers various classes for students to explore in high school to get them ready for colleges. They have excellent STEM, music and sports with various clubs for students to join and connect with their peers.
