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.

My high school experience was good especially all the fun senior activities they had. Something I would definitely improve from this school is the lunch.

I enjoyed my school or education experience at panorama as I've been with panorama schools since kindergarten. And I don't believe if I had the choice when I was younger, I would still chose panorama compared to other schools nearby. For multiple reasons.

A lot of the schoolwork felt redundant and tedious. It made it difficult to stay engaged into a curriculum you were not given any reason to care about. Many of my peers felt the same way. Despite this and the limited funding the school receives (it is a school in a poor area), there are plenty of resources available for those willing and able to take advantage of them. Most of the school staff were understanding of students' situations as well.

PHS as a fabulous school in which to work and is incredibly safe. The students are wonderful DESPITE the surrounding neighborhood, and the staff is committed to supporting student success in high school and life beyond.

This school is an ok school. The area is pretty bad though. There is a lot of drugs and many bad influences there, I always see kids smoking during P.E.
