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.

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.

The most significant problem to me is the rampant grade inflation at the...
