If you want to go to a school that solely focuses on science and math and do not really care about extracurricular activities such as sports, it's a school for you

PCSS needs to do better. The school focuses on academic rigor above everything else but fails to listen to students and adequately address mental health concerns. I've spent several years at this school and have had to fight administration and other individuals to respect my mental health diagnosis despite their knowledge of it.

Located in Saugus Massachusetts, PCSS II is primarily a stem school. This means that it's heavily focused on math and science. Therefore if you want to go into any one of those fields, PCSS II would benefit you greatly. However, for subjects that relate to art like film or just regular drawing, you're going to have a tough time. My best experience at this school is during events like Science Fair or NHD because then I won't have to do work all day besides attend the fairs. My worst experience at this school was during COVID-19 because it was hard to focus. I would like to see changes in the art space at PCSS II and for the school to expand into the field more.
