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 didn't really see the principle of security unless someone was in trouble and it happened pretty frequently.

I didn't really have anyone there for me to help prepare me for college. I was on my own and I think I'm doing okay at it.

Extracurriculars are quite diverse at PHS. I mean they range from the popular things like sports and theater to chess club and a very complicated version of risk. Some sports though like cheerleading need to have a better supervision by the higher ups because that coach is never at practice or the events.
