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 would like to see the way people accept the differences of others. The best part of my time at PCHS is the opportunities that have been presented to me through ETS (Educational Talent Search) and through GEARUP.

It's like most other schools, good things and bad things. I would recommend a change in the school about how it responds to events. During last year when it was popular to steal from the bathrooms, they closed only guy bathrooms and left the girl bathrooms opened.

This school needs better teachers and more direction for students. The math department is subpar. Math is a crucial part of high school that students are expected to learn. With the way it has to be done they need to take more time and focus on one concept at a time, not multiple lessons. I do not feel they prepare students for college.

50/50. The classes are good and I’ve learned a lot. The social life at this school is terrible.
