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.

Pearl river high is a great school in in a small town wich is growing into a big city. Students at pearl river high are not just a number but a actual person. Most everyone at pearl river high knows everyone and is there to help and support everyone. It's a great high-school to have your kids attend. I am a pearl river high alumni. I had one child just graduate from here and will have another child graduate from here next year as well.
