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.

Academy of Health Sciences is a good school. It's academically challenging but very worth it due to the program for an associate's degree. The teachers are nice and the environment is very welcoming. Food provided is okay. Make sure you study and submit assignments on time!!

The Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC is a great school with a strong focus on health sciences. The best parts of my experience include the quality of education and dedicated faculty. However, I would like to see more extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports added to enhance the overall student experience.

The best part was being able to connect to new people and make new friends. The worst part of the experience is the stress I face in this school and the toll on my mental health, because of the work we receive. I would like to see a change to the scheduling of events during school because everything felt last minute and rushed. I would also like our lunch room to be bigger it is always crowded. I would also like to see a change in longer lunch periods. There was never enough time for people to eat, and we would have to rush to class and finish our food in 5 minutes.
