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 best part of my experience was I got to meet new people that can affect my future outcomes. The worst part of my experience was going no preparing for a test that was upcoming. What I would like to see change is the food, aesthetic of the school, and school events.

The Paradise Honors experience is exhausting. The students are unmotivated in every area. Very few people go to school events and it isn't hard to understand why. Things like homecoming are poorly planned and the spending a day with PHHS students is so draining that by the time events do come around...
