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 overall experience was well. I enjoyed many of the teachers and people I meet along the way. There were a few altercations I was involved in during school but nothing too serious. I think the environment is well but I do believe it could be way better.

My favorite part that has made my experience really good at school was me being in drill team. It's been really fun and I've built so much friendships where now we hangout outside of school. It's made my high school experience so much better. It goes for any other club or academic that people join, my school is usually very fair either way everything and they make sure everybody gets a chance to be happy. I haven't had any bad experience since the 4 years I've been in high school.

Recently our principal removed mirrors in our restroom to improve time students get to class. Not having mirrors is big inconvenience.

Excellent. This is one of the highest performing schools in the state. The conclusions of the data from this website is inaccurate. This past school year, PHS received 5 distinctions from the state: math, science, ELA, closing gaps, and student progress.
