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 school is okay. There are some great extracurriculars and programs like the fine arts program. The school building is very poor with constant A/C problems and horrendous restrooms'. The only good part about the campus is the Very large auditorium, large and high-quality court, and good turf field. There are some great sports programs but football, baseball, and softball are not great.

The best part of my high school experience is the fact that I'm in the early college program and I can graduate with my associate's degree along with my high school degree.

Ive had a great experience at Pasadena. My councilors and AP's have always been extremely supportive and helpful. Pasadena has many many clubs and activities, there's a place for everyone. I have many friends and I find it easy to make friends at school. There's always many school events going on so it makes it easy to be involved in school.

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.
