I tend to enjoy school, but I left this school in the first semester. Some of the students there are just so rude.

This school is unsafe and full of drama. If you want your kid to not thrive, send them here.

As with any junior high school, it’s a huge transition for teenagers. However, PJHS has incredible administration and outstanding teachers. Nebo school district is one of the top 10 in the state of Utah and ranked first in Utah county.

Great school, my children feel welcome. There is great structure and a positive learning environment. Most of the teachers seem to care about the success of the students. The administration goes above and beyond to connect with the students.
