Overall, it has been a horrible experience. The teachers to date have been great and I don't blame them. The principal and assistant need to be reevaluated. They should stand by their school districts motto on anti bullying and also stop trying to pass the buck and take responsibility. THEY are responsible for our kids safety and well being when in their care.

Pakanasink is an excellent school within the Pine Bush School District. The teachers and principal gives their best for the students. The entire staff are very friendly and works very hard to promote a healthy and safe environment for everyone. I have 2 children there and I have never heard anything negative about the principal, teachers and other staff members. My kids especially loves their teachers, and always tells me how their teachers encourages them everyday to always do their best work.

The school was great! My son had GREAT teachers and a good environment to learn. The school had great events and a top notch principal. My son is now in CVMS and the principal is not assistant superintendent so this is kind of irrelevant but I'm positive the school is still amazing.

We had a very bad experience with pakanasink, my son went to kindergarten last year and he had a terrible teacher, specially the assistant was uneducated. She mistreated the kids, had no patience, and my son now hates school. They both need to retire after teaching for 29 years.

Excellent school district. I have three children in each of the school levels. We have spent 10 exceptional years in this school district. Pine bush boasts excellent programs;teachers and administrators, custodians, food-service personnel, office staff are caring and have the children's interest at heart at all times. Best school in Orange County and world-record placement in Odyssey of the mind global competition; Hey! PB, you look so good to me, hey, hey,hey!!!

In my opinion Pakanasink Elementary has a strong leader she is very active in the community and devoted to our kids and teachers. Everything else naturally falls into place. Good job!
