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.

Teachers make this school amazing because they (most of them) genuinely care about their students. However, removing honors courses has been detrimental to many students' academic life.

I love my school and all the classes they offer. i have had many good experiences from the school dances such as sophomore semi formal to the fun spirit homecoming dress up days. I wish there would be alittle more support againist bullying but it's not much of a deal.

Penfield high school was a good school to attend, academics out weigh any other school I've seen, I wish the disciplinary action system was different but you live you learn and you move on. This school was a great experience and helped mold me into the adult I am becoming today as my college career progresses forward
