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.

I am a student there and take it from me do not go there. most of the time people blame others for what they have done. one time this kid came up to me and pushed me to the ground so I got up and told him to stop he then pushed me again so I pushed him and the recess monitor came over and gave me a full day in school suspension ad the other kid who was a year older than I didn't and made up this whole sob story and that wasn't the first or last time it happened to me or my friends

Guilty until proven innocent unless you are one if the towns 'special' families. Then you can do no wrong no matter what you do to others.

Same old same old. The lessons do not change and do not keep up with current events.

Pcs is a literal joke ! They let harassment bullying and SA pass and say nothing about it. They let “good students” get away with more things than other people and they pick favorites all the time ! The school hasn’t been redone and looks the same as it did in the 80s. The teachers barely even teach...

My daughter had a wonderful experience at PCS. We were a school choice family and were so impressed by the staff and administration. We never regretted sending her to this wonderful school. There is a good work ethic and the student's are well prepared for high school and college. Many opportunities...
