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.

Purchase line has overall been a good experience. Most of the teachers are nice and care about your learning but also about your well being. Some things that could be changed are the ants where we eat, and the other bugs found in the school along with the water system but overall purchase line is a good school

I like that we are a smaller school so the teachers have the opportunity to get to know the students. I also feel comfortable asking teachers for help when needed. For a small school, there are a variety of activities to become involved in.

I have been a student in Purchase Line High School since I have been in 7th grade and I am now a senior. My honest opinion of my school is that it could use a lot of improvement. The entire school is based around favoritism and teacher whom don't intend to give their students their fullest attention. The majority of the teachers and staff at my school neglect their job duties and give the students homeork without explaining or teaching us anything whatsoev
