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.

Throughout my time at the high school, Pelham provided a great school community and strong culture that inspired me to achieve. As a current college student, Pelham gave me a great baseline for current and future success.

Pelham Memorial is a great school, where people of all walks of life and of all interests are celebrated. The teachers are all great and universally beloved, the facilities are solid, and while our sports teams are in a bit of a rough patch, the school spirit remains undimmed. The cafeteria food could be improved, but the open campus means that you could always go and grab something from the deli or the pizzeria. Overall, PMHS is a wonderful school and is a great learning environment.

High academic expectations are met with high achievements: US News and World Report awarded a Gold Medal to...
