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.

Pedro Menendez High School is an excellent school, I was impressed by how well the school truly was. After transferring from Nease High School to Pedro Menendez, it was a whole different world. A better world.

I enjoy the clubs and academies at Pedro. There are many options to prepare for college and/or future careers. However, some of the students at Pedro can be difficult. And Pedro is understaffed.

The school is well built and mostly clean, but there are certain places that get neglected when being cleaned like the bathrooms. The teachers are mostly great except for a few but the rest of the teachers make up for it. There are many opportunities to succeed here

If I could give 0 stars I would. I’m not sure how the school has not yet been reprimanded for their lack of concern with students education and communication with parents. The principal seems to think laughing at concerns are better than addressing them. If you’re moving to the area, DO NOT send you...
