No school is actually a bad school. Whats bad is the people inside of it. Patterson High School just happens to have less tolerable people inside. It's all a matter of the community surrounding it. I can count on one hand good teachers I've encountered at school. Those teachers I know for a fact have cared deeply for each and everyone of their students. Those teachers, I know would actually be there to give their shoulder to cry on just so students can feel comforted.

Patterson High School is a small high school in a small town. It does offer early start/DE classes and SLCC college course. The school is old and there a limited amount of teachers, but they are very welcoming and are willing to help.

I would not recommend this school. A lot of bullying. The principal is not there or always in a conference, so they say. Good teachers are leaving and going somewhere else.

PHS is more then a school, it's a family. I have lived in Patterson my whole life, you know your teachers on a personal level. A lot of the parents and teachers went to school together. The school does need upgrades, I graduated in 2008, and the technologywas a little out of date. It's not the schoo...
