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.

PSLA was a life changing experience, I can't imagine myself going anywhere else. They offer specialized programs that get you job ready fresh out of high school. Everywhere has its faults and PSLA is no different, there's fights, the lunch is terrible, and the administration just doesn't care. I would like to see a new administration in charge, and more teachers so there's not 30 students in a classroom trying to learn from one teacher.

The overall experience was pretty good. The CTE courses they offer is definitely their strongest asset. The administration had a lot of flaws but the courses themselves were great.
