I love PHS, you can just tell that every single person working and studying there is glad to be there. All the teachers love their job and you can genuinely tell they care!

It is quite a nice school, objectively speaking. However, comparing it to other schools in the area, it is slightly lacking.

I would like them to care more about the students and their struggles, and not brush them aside. As well as care more about their film program (that brings in more awards than their football team).

The school fails to follow IEP’s and 504 plans. Administrators ignore parents and do not follow their own code of conduct. When a grievance is made by a parent they retaliate on the student. Teachers can not control the classrooms making the culture unsafe for students.
