Pitman High School was a nice experience overall I don't think I would've wanted any different. My few problems though, are the lack of diversity there's not a lot of people that are black or Asian like me, its a lot of the same people. The academics are good there is some good teachers some bad but I feel I'm taught something beneficial in most if not all classes.

Pitman is a good school all around just not the football team as much, they aren't as good like the other sports like the girls volleyball team, girls soccer team, Cross country, boy soccer, boys baseball, boys volleyball, basically the worst sport of them all. For all 4 years of highschool I haven't had a bad teacher I can some are way more passionate than others I can 100% say. The worst part is the fire drills we have at school because it happens to often maybe once a week or twice a week I can say. They are helpful but to many times once per two weeks is perfect.

Overall the school is okay. It is decently upkept and most of the teachers are good, however, the school rarely puts any effort or money into the experience of the students and this is not due to a lack of money but simply twisted priorites.

The school still has a long way to go to instill the correct values for students and to ensure that students are ready for life after high school.
