Poughkeepsie High School is the public high school (grades 9-12) in the city of Poughkeepsie, NY. (Not to be confused with Poughkeepsie Day School, which is a nearby K-12 private school.) It is categorized as an inner city school district as a result of the high percentage of students living in low-income households. In the 2011-2012 school year, 73% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.〔https://reportcards.nysed.gov/files/2011-12/RC-2012-131500010010.pdf〕 PHS did not meet the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) specified by the No Child Left Behind Act in 2011-12.〔https://reportcards.nysed.gov/files/2011-12/ACC-2012-131500010010.pdf〕 The school offers AP courses in the following subjects: Biology, Calculus AB, English Literature, French Language, Spanish Language, English Composition, European History, and United States History.〔http://www.newyorkschools.com/schools/poughkeepsie-high-school.html〕 Poughkeepsie High School will host the Air Force JROTC program beginning July 2014.

Classes were not held in 1865, but resumed in 1866 in rented space. A new building was opened in 1872. Yet another new building was built in 1914 to accommodate 1,200 pupils. By the early Fifties, the population was outgrowing this building as well, and another location was sought. The building and property were later sold to the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, which renovated it and operated it as Our Lady of Lourdes High School. The current school opened for classes in 1956. Additions to the building were approved in 2002 as part of $27 million approved by voters for additions to buildings in the district that year.〔http://www.poughkeepsieschools.org/general-information/district-history/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poughkeepsie High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
