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.

PCHS is a really enjoyable school I am glad to be at. A large portion of the staff are very friendly and have it of their best interest to ensure success and safety of students. The sports scene in the school is quite lively, whether it comes to Friday Night Football!or volleyball games. The school's Academy of Science, Research, and Medicine offers a wide variety of classes tailored to the passions of students.
