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.

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.

At Pembroke High School, there have been both good and bad. I have been able to meet my best friends and play volleyball, which is the sport that I love. I have been able to learn successfully and have been given the support that I need to grow.

Teachers and staff often out on leave with no plan to provide quality curriculum in their absence. Often just filled with unqualified general substitutes. Strong music department.

I attended PHS from 2007-2011 and it was only a few years after the split from Silver Lake so the school was really trying to build their own reputation. There were some growing pains for sure I recall many of the teachers they hired had no control over their classes and a lot of cheating was done , but the athletics there were great we had a strong Track , Hockey and Soccer program when I was there. Some of the teachers are absolutely amazing and wrote my college letter for me but I will say it was kind of a joke . Hopefully by now they're a little more assertive with students. I enjoyed it though ha

Mrs. Motta and Mrs. Massa are great teachers! My daughter is looking forward to Studio 2 next year. For the most part I am h...
