The staff do not really care about the well being of students when it comes to bullying. Other than that the school is small and nice.

Our school cares about what you do and how you succeed, but it also cares about you depending on your last name. Our school is very biased on who has what freedoms. Our school refuses to give us connections to outside world, as we are in a dead zone and have a wifi source but it's always turned off. The school most of the time gives us no help with scholarships or college classes or how to become prepared. Things need to change.

Although some of my teachers were amazing, my overall experience at PCHS was not great. The administration was lazy, rude and were not in the least bit helpful. I had about 5 teachers throughout high school that I would give a genuine thank you too for helping me.
