The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I grew up being told that Patterson High was one of the worst HIgh-Schools in our area. When I found out that I was going to be attending it, I was shocked and had felt that I've failed as a student and son. I came in for my first physical year and it wasn't as horrible as people said it would be. I entered the engineering classes and realized I liked it here, the teachers are great. My favorite teacher was Ms.Gg, my pre-calc teacher. She knows how to teach and not confuse anyone in the process. The principle is also very involved with activities in the school and pushes everyone to be their absolute best. I plan on attending York Of Pa with my background as a Patterson student.

Patterson high school is a decent school. I feel as though the teacher could improve more and try harder to help the students understand. The school lunch is horrible. The school does provide the students with free bus passes to get home.

I am putting 3 stars because if you live in the City and you can't go to City, Poly, or BSA, there are even worse schools--believe it or not. Here's the current view of Patterson. 1) The new building is not great. It was thrown together quickly and does not have enough classrooms to create small cla...

Patterson High School has the potential of becoming a well-known school to the nation since the development of students' learning is incredibly boosting. The School is old so it is difficult to learn in an environment where students are too hot or too cold, however, apart from that teachers, staff,...
