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.

Throughout my time at Pace High School I was able to experience many different programs and college readiness. I was able to take part in multiple clubs such as Media club, debate club and yearbook. These clubs were great and created new skills for the future.In general Pace high school has been able to give me a good high school experience while also preparing me for college application and future goals.

I have had mostly great experiences at Pace High School. As a transfer student, I was looking for a school that would challenge me academically and socially. I found both at Pace. I enjoy the relationships that I have with my Pace teachers. I enjoy supporting all of the kids in my classes.

Pace highschool has a nice community such as the people and teachers. But it seems as if they care more about pleasing parents than students. There is not much student activity like dances, trips, clubs, movie nights, etc.
