"The school administration does not support students needs when social difficulties arise. The school does not contact and involve parents. This school is so bad I'm moving just so my daughter does not have to attend tthis school."

"The Quality of Academics at Penn Yan Academy is average. Their facilites are currently rather poor, however, they are in the process of builging a new school, and with it there will probably be a large increase in the number of programs offered. In terms of extra- curricular activies, this school is very biased, they offer wonderful programs for those interested in Lacrosse, but if your student isn't a Lacross player, whatch out. I am not sure what the level of parent involvement is, but I would say if I had to estimate I would say it was above average. Alot of students parents showed up for the open house and there was always alot of people at all the sporting events."

"Penn Yan Academy pretends to be progressive by offering courses such as C++ programming, to 'keep up with the Jones'' I guess, but that's no guarantee that the course will be properly taught. My son has been in the C++ course for 7 weeks now, and they have yet to do any projects using the compiler. Anyone who knows anything about programming knows how ridiculous this is. If your child enrolls at PYA and expects to be challenged, I think chances are very good that they're going to be disappointed. He certainly was. The bottom line -- all NYS schools have similar curriculums, because they wish to appear progressive. They want to list the latest and best. The question you need to ask are what guarantees that such courses will be competently taught? Do they provide a course syllabus?"
