The Poughkeepsie City School District 2025-2026 school year serves approximately 4,200 students in Dutchess County. Situated directly on the Hudson River, it is a historically rich, highly diverse urban district surrounded by sprawling commuter suburbs.
The Poughkeepsie school calendar is the logistical anchor for a community heavily reliant on the district's robust meal programs, after-school care, and community outreach. The calendar carefully delineates numerous early dismissal days, which the district requires for intensive, trauma-informed staff professional development and curriculum alignment. Families utilize this schedule to navigate city traffic patterns during major events at Poughkeepsie High School, especially during intense winter icing events along the steep riverbanks.
