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 feel like i have not been taught as well as I should have been. The teachers do not try new things to help each student learn. Sometimes when people in my class would try to ask a question the teachers would tell them to go to the principles office for "being a disturbance".

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?
