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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience was good as a student. Several teachers were there for me and helped me become the person/student I am today.

J B Pennington has not only been a school to me, but it has become a home. The administrators and staff at PHS have taken the time to make sure each and every one of my classmates and I have succeeded. J B Pennington has been my home for five and a half years, and for that I am grateful. I hope that one day, in the far future, I can send my children to a school that is half as good as PHS. The dedication of each and every staff member at Pennington has been a huge encouragement to me throughout the past five years. I hope that one day I can make an impact on someone the way J B Pennington has impacted me.
New principal does not care about students. If you are not a star athlete they do not care about you. The district as a whole does not offer any arts for students (theater, art, music other than Band) Parent communication is non existent
