Pekin Community High School was a great place to attend. I felt that most classes there prepared me for life after high school. I loved all of my teachers and they made learning fun. I am grateful for my time at PCHS.
8/13/2024
Overall Pekin Community High School is a great school, with specific strengths in the science department. With a recent update in the grading system, there seem to be more struggles placed on both students and teachers, in every department. The school, also, provides an abundance of opportunities.
5/13/2024
Pekin Community High School is a pretty good school. The food and safety aren't the best, however. I still would recommend this school, though!!

This school is what I could have never imagined my high school experience to be. Woke up every morning to go smell drugs in the bathroom, people fighting while staff watches. Someone is getting bullied they get in trouble for standing up for themselves. Sports? don’t even tryout it’s a waste of pote...

Fights? Got that. Drugs? Got that. Vaping? Got that. Rampant Homophobia (and related things) in both students and staff? Got that. Good teachers? Less than half a dozen. Good clubs? According to some, but not most people. Almost complete lack of (Functioning and helpful) mental health support? Got t...

This school is very poorly ran. Kids with names can do whatever while the rest of the kids are punished for not being at the same status as the admin. My kids watch fights in the bathrooms and vaping is done in class behind teachers backs. It’s of athletes on drugs but since they win it’s ok. Kids a...
