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.

My experience of Pleasant Hill high school is very good. I was apart of the men's show choir, and I am apart of the schools scholarbowl team. The only thing that really needs to improve is the quality of the school's lunch. Other than the lunch being average, the teachers are awesome they really care about you and they really want you to be successful. Overall Pleasant Hill High School is a really good school

The teachers and other staff are great at the school. They do the best with what they are given. The problem lies more within the curriculum. The teachers can only teach what they are provided with and told to teach. It's not their fault if it's not necessarily up to date with other schools in our area. The staff themselves do a great job with teaching and giving knowledge though. They do their absolute best to try and provide us with what they know and ways that can help us retain the information.

All this school does is play favorites, put our children at risk and discourage actual learning in any way, shape or form. My child is an A student, good in sports, & his coach treats him like he isn't even there. He hasn't been in trouble either! If I knew then what I knew now, we would have moved...

We as parents see you! A Superintendent does not reply to calls or emails. Gives the feeling of leave me...

We have complained to the principal regarding the substitute teachers not realizing that the quality would go so far south by doing so. The subs at PHHS in the past would at least teach & monitor the students. Now the same subs called weekly don t care anymore. An example of this year 2012 as recent...

Really perplexing how so many parents are in an up`roar and the superintendent(also known as a chief school administrator in many states) has two (2) assistant superintendants and little to no raises are handed out? Where is the money going? The superintendant and his many assistants need to go! Tim...
