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.

School staff does not care bout the safety of your children they do not have a dean at this school let alone metal detectors. They never return calls or pick up the school phone. Kids come and go as they please and they do not call the parents to let them know of any problems with your child

PPA is a great school! Lead by A great Principal! My son graduated with 3 Regents prior to attending High School. They have all kinds of programming to meet each student needs...(E.g. STEM Activities, Culinary Arts, Band, College Tours, A Beacon program and other in-school/after-school activities.)

Horrible school in my opinion, in this school most teachers are just there for a pay check. Don't get me wrong they have a handful of teachers that actually care.if I had to do it all over again I would not send my son there. My second son will be attending the charter school.
