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.

I would say my overall experience wasn't to bad. I would not say everything isn't all good here but its not to bad either. Most of the teachers here are truly heaven sent, showing they care about their students.

I got to Peoria High, we are the lions, a.k.a. the pride of the city.My experience with peoria high has been a wild experience. There have been both good and bad days. The worst experience i've had with peoria high was a day in september of 2021 the entire school was fighting each other.My school made the news for fighting we had to have an early dismissal that day because of the fights. It was such a bad picture for my school. However we turned it around really quick with our first community take back night it was a night where the entire community came and enjoyed there selves just having fun. That would of had to been the worst experience that turned into the best experience here at the pride of the city

After the fight(s) that broke out all day 9/17/21 (student and non student(??!) and pulled fire alarm the school sent kids home early. One parent of a disabled child was not able to find her child. In the past year or two...

I recently toured this school and it is impressive! They have underwent a multi-millon dollar renovation and the entire school is state of the art. Seemed to be a fantastic learning environment.
