GreatSchools Rating
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.

Overall Pyle is a great school but there are some things that could essentially change for the best. First of all improving cafeteria food is something all student's would be thankful for as well as improving some of the facilities. The teachers are for the most part great but some of them lack the necessary communication skills to effective contribute to the student's growth. Also some teachers show more enthusiasm then others in the classroom and something this lack of enthusiasm makes the class feel empty and repetitive leading to disengagement of students and potentially some academic problems.

It is confusing and alarming that the minority African American students are only 4% of the total student population, yet their suspension rate is 6% which is near the state average of 7%. It does not make sense that their equity is high when they are suspending so many African American students.

Not good at communication and not good at problem solving. They’re on auto pilot, geared towards one type of student. If you don’t fit their narrow criteria you will fall. Most teachers seem focused on their checklist of assignments and busy work rather than teaching.
