The physical building deplorable. Nonetheless, what I find wonderful about Pelham High is the dedication and caring of its administrative staff: My teenager transferred there this year from a private school, and the transition has been such a positive experience.

As a parent of a sophomore at PHS, I must say that the building is definitely a problem! The teachers whom I have met are very nice, and are doing the best they can in the facility that we have.

I encourage anyone who doubts the current condition of the school to go when there are students in attendance to get the true feel of what the kids deal with every day.

I attended Pelham High School, and was a great athlete. Because the school is so small, and has horrible sport programs, I had no chance of getting much of a sport scholarship. The text and information is also very outdated, making the education esentially useless. I would not recommend this school

Going from Pelham Memorial School to Pelham High School wasn't a huge change. This school can be great if you make it that way.

As a graduate of Pelham High I suggest you do not send your children there. The building and texts are outdated and the material is hardly preparing them for college.
