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.

Graduated 2024, not a horrible school, But the bullying is a huge issue. Same goes with lack of staff awareness in most cases. Staff was pretty good. It was just the students and the culture the kids created there that sucked. I do not recommend sending your children or moving here, unless your kid is headstrong and can play some kid of sport.

Pearl high school has been a great school to me. They helped me when i was at my lowest and have offered loads of support. The kids at pearl high school are also very nice i've never had a bad encounter with a student there. I would highly recommend pearl being a great school for anyone.

Pearl High School, in my opinion, is a very fun and easy school. Since my time here, i've had so much fun and have learned so much. There is plenty of resources to find out what you want to do in life here at Pearl.
