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.

Most of the classes are very challenging. A lot of students that have gone to other schools said that Providence is very hard. I like how teachers are always there for you. There are a lot of resources available to help you be successful. Students in general are not very nice. If you are not rich you are probably going to get excluded. There is also a very strict phone policy. If they see you on your phone they take it for 3 days including nights and it can go up to 7 days. You cannot even use your phone during lunch.

I attented this school. From my experience, the teachers I had were not good. You go to class just to copy workbooks and figure out the answers yourself. The teachers did not teach. How can you learn like this?

My experience has differed from others in the site. Maybe only people with poor experiences get on here? Our child has a 504. Counselors have been proactive about ensuring it’s followed. Teachers have been supportive as well. As with any school, not every teacher will be a great fit (& this has been...

My son is graduating this year and has grown so much as a person and student during his time at PHS. He has maintained his college preparedness even through COVID. PHS is not an easy school but it will challenge your student to grow and prepares them for whatever path they choose by holding them acc...
