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.

I enjoyed the variety of sports and clubs available at the school. The band director did his job well and cared about his students. I would like to see a change in some of the classes offered. For example, a life skills class, so that students would be better prepared for adulthood.

Patrick Henry is in a small town. The school itself has a very everyone knows everyone mentality. From the parents the the administration everyone pitches in the let it run smoothly.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at PHHS. There were definitely some issues, most stemming from the school board and not the school itself. We were often overlooked for funding because we were one of the smaller schools in the county. Sports also received more funding than the arts, but that seems to be a problem at all public schools.

worst school to ever attend, the teachers dont care for you nor do they care about education. They don't teach you anything at all, if you dont agree with them they put a target on your childs back and dont ever approve anything. Its all about the money and force you todo things you dont want to and...
