I love the community that we have at Pelham High. Everyone feels included and the teachers are incredible. They make sure that you have a high school experience that you are proud of. They do their very best to make you successful.

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 would not recommend sending your child to this school. The special education support is poor, and resources aren’t focused on students’ learning. I also don’t recommend the superintendent after finding out why he left his previous district.
