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.

It's a good school. It is one of the schools in the area that you are able to do PSEO. So you can get a head start in college and I think that is very important. Administration can be kinda frustrating sometimes but if you have a problem you can go and talk to someone and you will be heard.

PACT has had issues in the past with many things, I’ll be the first to say that. But the progress they’ve made in the last few years is ASTOUNDING. The staff and teachers care about our kids and encourage them to think critically and for themselves. I am so excited for the expansion and to bring mor...
