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.

Pelham High school is an institution that is strong in some areas but lacks in others, but I definitely would recommend it to someone who lives in the area. The teachers care, and administration cares also, college preparedness could be improved on, but overall it is a good school.

I love how caring the teachers are. They will do anything in their power to help you pass their class. That means staying late after school and studying with you or simply breaking things down. This school definitely has spirit and welcomes everyone from different backgrounds with open arms.
