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 have had a great experience at PPHS. I think the key to a great experience is to find your "niche" and stay involved. I'm very involved in athletics and have also been involved in student government. Finding people with your same interest and mindset help you create friendships that will last a lifetime. A positive change that needs to be made would be to have a wider variety of clubs, that could create more opportunities for students to have a more inclusive experience.

Point pleasant has really encouraged me to be myself. I am able to talk to people. I got my grades up straight As. I'm in a lot of honor programs now like NHS, Student council, YLA.
