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.

They are passionate about their students' success. The administration is thoughtful and considerate of the students and their parents wishes for the future of the school. It is a small school so you are able to connect with many different people causing it to be a very close school.

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.
