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.

So as a student who went to PDMS not to long ago and spent all three years, here's a honest review of everything, one when it comes to the students a huge 90% of them are pro called "christians" but bully others, many minority groups are extremely hard to find if lucky, not all but a lot of teachers are usually on a power trip or just do not care, one experiences being me getting bullied and the teacher not caring meanwhile when I say a joke to my friend about beating them up I am yelled at and threatened to get written up, it makes me very happy to see a lot of truth to a lot of these reviews, whilst it's true everyone has different expierances, as someone who went through all three years, popularity defines who you are to alot of those kids so they will most likely if your kid goes here will either become the popular or the bullied/weird kids or the npcs, as a lot of the weird kids are often just LGBTQ members,alt kids and kids with niche interests, honestly overall this school 2/10
