I have traveled the world & seen many effective educational systems. PISD educational system needs much improvements. The leadership is not there; faculty members are over worked and unadaptable, and can't control their classes; extracurricular activities are very limited and biased towards athletics;
... Read more and profiling of students needs to stop . Also, faculty members need to stop focusing so much on student dress codes and tardies, instead use disgretion.Students miss more class time going to some computerized tardy station getting pass and detention. Turn names into admin & let them handle it. A student may needed to use the restrm(the alotted time btwn classes doesn't allow for this). Several students were told to take care of their personal habits at home. Faculty needs to communicate better w/ parents about the students not the school events. Shot out to Mr Bready, Mr Layne, & Ms Patterson. Read less

I graduated from Pearland High School in 2008. I will honestly say that many of the classes are good and offer a great curriculum with even better teachers that will prepare you for college. However, getting the right classes are hit and miss, and that's only if you're an AP student. If you're a regular
... Read more student, almost all the classes are terrible. The class sizes are very big, and the administration feels forced to treat the school like a prison to maintain any level of control. Many of the disciplinary policies are downright ridiculous, and even the ones that do make sense seem unnecessarily. On the positive side, the extracurricular opportunities are Awesome and make up for many of the downsides. There is always something to do if you know where to look. I personally was a member of the choir for four years and loved it. Read less

I just graduated from Pearland in 2008. I can tell you first hand that the whole dress code and their disciplining is ridiculous to say the least. It gradually gets worse every year. This year if you dont have your ID on you have to go to the office and pay $5 every time, regardless if its the last
... Read more 2 weeks of the year and you have been a student for the teacher for the the entire year. Their is a huge gape between regular classes and AP. Regular is a complete joke and is not preparing anyone for college. last year If someone has missed 80% of their classes and was about to fail they said the kids just have to bring in coke cans and they get credit..what is that?! On a positive note the people and teachers are very down to earth and its easy to make friends. Read less

I have one daughter who attends this school and have found the staff, administration and teaching facilities to be EXCEPTIONAL. Her class has over 1000 students and the top 10% have a GPA over 4.1 - on a scale from 1-4 - thanks to advance placement. The entire school district raises the acedemic

However, because of the overbuilding of APARTMENTS in Pearland, I believe the school district will be overwhelmed with surges of students - from single household families. Aside from that, I find that any student who attends any school in Pearland will be academically challenged and will be well prepared for his/her vocation or college of choice. PHS raises the bar!
