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.

The teachers were always available to help me after school hours and would help me get my grade up if I was struggling by providing extra credit and allowing me to retake some assignments if I did not do so good on the assignment.

I think the school has good intentions, and the principal is well spoken, but her underlings are miserable. They have no desire to truly help children. I feel like they are there for a paycheck and nothing else. Bullying is rampant here. My daughter was "beat up" in class while the teacher was away...

This school is racist. This school had a lot bullying. You need to be white to be acceptable!

Great school, attentive teachers, caring administration and a great choice of sports and clubs. We are so glad our children have the opportunity to attend PSMS. We feel safe sending our children and know that the staff cares enough about their learning as well as their safety.
