My experience is patterson High school is excellent i like the way teacher teach their students and they never left any children behind. They strive to keep every student on trace of their grades and assignments. what i like about patterson is they let students have a opportunity to accomplish their goals. What i would change about the school is how we are limited to show our school spirit.

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.
