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.

My experience at PBSHSA has been great the teachers are really committed to helping out their students and making sure they succeed in class. Some changes that should be made is the food they provide.It is not appitiezing at all and must be change.

I am currently attending, school is alright but the grading is tough on us students. The teachers are great but give out too much work to students. Sometimes I barely have any free time at home, this school really keeps Me busy and is hard to keep on track if I miss An assignment because that'll bring me down to a not passing grade.

THIS SCHOOL IS OK, THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THAT NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR CHILD IS DOING IN CLASS, IF THEY FAIL A TEST THAT'S THEIR GRADE FOR THE CLASS, THEY DON'T FACTOR GRADES AT ALL. MY DAUGHTER HAD A B IN HER SCIENCE CLASS AND FRIDAY AFTER NOT PASSING HER TEST SHE HAD A FAIL.
