Graduated 2024, not a horrible school, But the bullying is a huge issue. Same goes with lack of staff awareness in most cases. Staff was pretty good. It was just the students and the culture the kids created there that sucked. I do not recommend sending your children or moving here, unless your kid is headstrong and can play some kid of sport.

Overall I've had a pretty good experience at Pearl High. I've only experienced a few teacher that were difficult to deal with but most of them are pretty great. I would like to see them let up on some of their rules such as the dress code. They could also allow the students to have more social activities. I'm involved in a lot of extracurricular activities at at school which gives me an opportunity to socialize with a lot of people.
