The teachers were fine but they did not like the principal so they did not really care about school.

Overall it was a good experience. There were a decent amount of classes for my pathway and it was easy to get which ones I wanted. They also are apart of the CTE program which allowed me to travel to other schools and receive a more focused, college level study of my choice. The teachers I had were really nice and flexible as well as the coaches. It was always super fun and made me fall in love with my sports even more. This is a small town so the school is not very big which was honestly kind of nice. The administration cares deeply for their students and puts everyone in their bests interests

Pelham High School is seen as a small school to me. Only having 600 or so students, but still smaller than surrounding schools. In my school I seem to be in different ones with people i generally like. My school is not bad at all. the teachers are really friendly to the students, even me as well. I talk to them frequently for assistance or just have general conversations with them. I feel this helps with student and teacher connections. My school may have some people out of the ordinary, but it doesn't affect how we learn. some people just act like they don't care about our school because they think it's horrible, but I don't see. that. It has potential to become better, but for me I really like it there. My High School is a good school with more to overcome and become better. Teachers are nice and I've made many friends with them and other students to help make my school experience fun. I feel that college will be more of a challenge and this school really helps me prep for that.

I think a lot of schools are what you make of them. Pelham High School s infrastructure has not been good over the years because it was built as an open concept school in the 70 s. The Town has improved some of the inefficiencies over the last couple of years and the voters approved a 22 million dol...

This school is very average. The student body is very strong and show a lot of school spirit even though the building is in less than desirable condition. Some teachers are great others simply teach the materials and that's it. We could use a new principal, but I don't see that happening. There's a...
