#360 Best Public High Schools in New York
Pine Bush Senior High School
Alum: Pine Bush has diverse programs and opportunities for students of all kinds. They have a diverse C-Tech program, a STARS program, many AP and college classes. They are heavily focused on STEM programs, though, to the detriment of some other programs. Football is prioritized over other sports.
A lot of the teachers are great. Most are supportive, fair and open-minded. There is a great support system for non-divergent kids, though I would avoid the counseling office as much as possible.
