The school counselors are very nice and helpful but they were very focused on high school graduation and not necessarily preparing students for college.

PGHS has been an amazing experience, considering I came from a small-scale charter school before. The counselors and teachers made me feel comfortable being in public school for the first time, and I've had mostly good experiences. I got sick for 3 months last year, and they were able to accommodate my needs, and I passed all my classes. The only bad experiences I've had have been caused by scares and pranks from other schools.
