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 how the teachers cared about the well-being of students and the counselors really cared about where students planned to go or do after graduating, they want to make sure you are set knowing where you want to go.

Pelham Lab is a very welcoming school to all students. It offers resources to get college credits , clubs like cooking class or dance club and lgbtq+ club. Pelham Lab is very accepting of everyone and the environment in the school is safe. Pelham Lab offers tutoring through out the week and on Saturdays for extra help in subjects.
