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.

I like the big halls and court yard as well as the arts programs, but some of the teachers can be a little much and the dress code is ridiculous

I went to PCHS for my entire high school career and thoroughly enjoyed it. Most teachers seemed to care honestly.
4.0 Alum

Most of the teachers are super kind and helpful but there are some that can be rude or hard to deal with. Some of the clubs have very toxic environments but others, such as FFA, are amazing.
