The School has a range of classes that can be taken and even some that are more hands on learning than the pen and paper that can be helpful for the ones that need it. A lot of the teachers are supper nice and will help you if you are struggling or need the help when asked. There are many people that are at the school that are great resources for colleges.

It's alright. Their policies could be revised and the students should be allowed more freedoms and they should be treated as trusted young adults instead of children.

As the parent of a PHS graduate, I have nothing but praise for the schools and staff. They truly know each and every student (even the ones not in their classes), and they care. The teaching is student focused and diverse opportunities grow each year. I read with some sadness the reviews from several years ago as so much has changed. There is a focus on social emotional learning and giving each student the opportunity to go as far as they want to go.

Arrogant, entitled, incompetent. Plan on supplementing your child's education with a tutor. Don't, under ANY circumstances, communicate your dissatisfaction because your child will be targeted.
