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 best part high school is completing robotics competition, and the worst part about high school is not even tutor to help student. The only change that need to be made is the school hired more tutors.

The best experience is that I got to experience great memories at PHS with my friends and teammates. We had fun playing baseball and being there for each other. I would say the bad experience was the separation between classes of poor and rich. Seems like the wealthy get away from following the rules.

I am a graduate from 2017, and I have to say this school has grown in all branches throughout the years I attended the Palestine School District Schools. The teachers are well prepared and equipped to teach the students (if taking the upper-level courses such as Pre-AP, AP, or Dual Credit classes)....

Students are provided a variety of areas to excel from Wildcat University where they earn college hours while in high school to hands on career and technology classes that make them work force ready graduates. College hours and work force recognized career certifications are the norm at PHS!
