My experience at Preston high has been overall very generic nothing life damaging has happened but ai do however see many ways my school can be improved.

4.0 Senior

5/27/2023

I love the advance classes offered along with the CTE classes offered. I am not fond of the some of the disciplinary actions that take place and i would like to see better consequences for the bad behavior.

3.0 Junior

7/14/2021

Preston High is a big school and is great for making friends. They have a good CTE and art program. They also have a large sport selection. There is not much diversity or parent involvement.
