It's a good school with a good IB program but it isn't a normal high school experience as you miss out on some activities other high schools are doing. I have learned a lot and I feel comfortable at the school.

Paisley has given me a multidimensional learning experience. My love for writing was taken into account and the teachers helped turn one of my hobbies into strengths. The school has made me a well rounded individual. I can say this proudly because even though I despise math, I can still make proficient grades. The same is true for other subjects. At paisley I am in a diverse community of other students who are passionate to learn is a rigorous setting.

The teacher's at this school are very knowledgeable for the subjects they teach. Teaching styles are very well received by the students and parents. Teachers do communicate well with students and parents. Never had any issues with the teachers.

I am a current student at Paisley. I would recommend it. Of course, there are bumps but overall a pretty decent school. The teachers are helpful. They do not give homework unless it is a project or the student did not finish it in class. There are the occasional fight but not enough to be a problem.

Overall it’s been great as the IB education is gold. We’ve had some bullying and 2 bad teachers but with 3 kids that’s pretty good overall. I recommend the school to others. It is worth it in the end!

We have had multiple issues at this school, including unresponsive, non-communicative teachers who have not executed my son's 504 plan in a satisfactory manner. Dr. Cone is a wonderful principal and seems to care deeply about the school, but he cannot overcompensate for the overwhelming dysfunction....
