GreatSchools Rating
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.

I was involved with numerous events, sports, and clubs at PHS that heightened my overall experience. I made great friends with my classmates and several teachers who helped me succeed. Something I would like to see made a higher priority is time for students to get extra help.
