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.

The school does have very strict policies on phones and being on time for all classes, and the daily schedule can be a bit confusing. Although some school pride events might seem excessive or even annoying, you can come to enjoy them and truly feel the Hills pride. Although the school does have its slight downsides, it's otherwise an amazing school and one I'm glad I attended."

Pascack Hills High School is a place that I have called home for the last four years. I have made many close friends and have loved almost every second of it. My highest highs are working with my best friends on robotics and my lowest lows are getting a test score back that I may not have liked. I think it would be beneficial to have more opportunities for student input on school policies and a growth in club sizes and sports and also more school spirit.

Excellent courses, teachers and administration - particularly for Honors and AP courses. Great balance of academics and extra-curricula activities. Excellent for college prep for the more/most selective colleges.
