Poquoson High School

Posted: May 11, 2026

Most of the teachers are dedicated to teaching meanwhile they are strict because some students need it. The majority of the kids here are nice and willing to make new friends. Due to the tight knit community there is a large amount of personal information shared but nothing to big and personal, just petty small town drama. Overall this school has been a great learning experience and I would recommend!

Overall my wife and I were very unhappy with Poquoson High School. They have had problems with racial issues in the past. Apparently, they still do. I would not recommend parents send their special needs students of color to this school.

We have a special needs student and the homework was very challenging for her. Not enough instruction during the daytime in school setting.

Posted: July 27, 2020

Even though the student to teacher ratio is good, I feel our student did not get enough individualized instruction during school hours

Our child was not treated well by other students in the school environment.

When we had problems with counselors or the school psychologist the administrative leadership did nothing but refer us back to the people creating the problem.

The school insists on putting our student into the standards of learning testing when she is on a Virginia Alternate Assessment Program of learning. This is totally inappropriate.

Homework is a lot but not an unmanageable amount and all Of it is relevant to the tested material.

The teachers are engaged and receptive to hearing atudents’ Needs and challenges. I felt our daughter’s teachers were eager to help her learn

This has been an amazing school. We are a military family so we have seen 5 districts total and 9 schools in those districts. Poquoson is among the best of them. We are so pleased with our choice to live here.

Years ago I attended school here. At that time it was A decent school for the most part. I could go on and on about it today but I'm going to stick to the facts. Below are four different cases and four different learning levels . Two out of the four attened from fith grade on
Third from first and last from kindergarten.

Please note a school is to teach a child academics so they can succeed and excel in life.
Whether the school is welcoming are not to me is not relevant. Insider outsider what does it matter if your child is getting the proper education.

Child one should never have graduated. Did not pass yearly tests. Teachers gave child passing grades to keep the graduation rate high .

Child two could pass any test with eyes closed. Was born gifted .
Child missed 75% of school never turned in any work. Was given a passing grade to keep graduation rates high. I know of other children in this school who did not attend and due to absences should not have graduated but did to keep stats high.
Child three has been passed along each school promising correction of a problem . Child can not read . Child is in high school and is currently comprehending at a Elementary level. Child has been privately tested. School states child is almost to grade level. Child has consistently failed all tests every year since first grade.
Child will graduate illiterate.
Child four is average. Passes all tests. Turns in all work. Gets whats belived average grades.
Child has been marked slow in files. Needing help in areas child excels at and average in areas child does not.

In conclusion your child will graduate from this school. Whether they have learned anything or not that's another question.
I would never recommend this school to anyone.

I don't blame the teachers at all. I believe they're caught between a rock and a hard place. One of the elementary school teachers a long time ago became teary-eyed because there was nothing she could do. She wanted to provide her own time to tutor but was told she would be fired if she did so.

Whether you do your homework or you don't do your homework is not relevant according to the school. You will still graduate.
What does the amount have to do with it.

Posted: September 12, 2015

I have no comment. I can not see how a school can develop integrity and honesty By just graduating anyone.

My children started school in Poquoson in 5th & 8th grade. As any new student, they took time to adapt, and soon made many friends, and graduated from Poquoson High. It is a small town feel, people are close to their neighbors. This is not a bad thing and is what I loved about living there. I am originally from PA and found it a great place to raise my kids, with lots of opportunities to be involved in their education.
