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.

I am currently in 8th grade, my last year at Palm Harbor Middle School. It is a pretty average school. Nothing really good but nothing really bad. Some of the teachers are bad and dont really teach they just assign. Some teachers are great. Theres some bullying, not extreme just some teasing and a bit more. Theres about 2 or 3 fights each month. Overall PHMS is just average. Not bad, I've mad lots of close friends and good memories but still cant wait to leave.
