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.

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.

Overall, I like this school it's just the students that I don't like. Some are really rude or disrespectful. They can also be a disruptive to the learning environment and their health and hygiene skills are not very well. This school is old and needs to be updated.

PFHS looks and feels like a...

My review is based on my daughter. She started at the school her freshman year and Graduated with honors 2017. We really liked the school and the guidance counselors seemed to really help the kids with college readiness.
