They don't follow IEP plans and refuse meetings to update them despite it being against the law. We pulled our kid.

Used to go to this school (This review is from a student that has attended this school, but is not there currently. That's why I put other). Only thing I can say about it is that there is; constant vaping in the stalls, constant fights with kids getting jumped if they said something they didn't like, and the school counselors DON'T DO ANYTHING. I'm going to give you a story from my life that happened here. One time I was sitting around, joking with my friends, when some dude grabs me and puts me in a chokehold. Now I'm smaller than the other kids (Still am) which makes me a vulnerable target for literally anyone. Anyway, while I'm in a chokehold, I try to fight back with my elbows and this kid is dragging me across the ag science room, and when this kid is done with me, everyone laughs and I go back to my table crying and humiliated, and guess what. The teacher didn't even notice and asked me why I was crying, long story short, the kid got suspended for like 3 days. Another thing is I was bullied and tormented by many of the kids in my new classroom (I was moved classrooms after the story) and I tried to go to the guidance counselor and tell them about what was happening. Turns out one of the counselors likes to do things "the old fashioned way" and calls them in to chat with them and to tell each other what we feel. After we got back to the classroom, I was known as the snitch, so that was great. The only thing good about that place was one of the teachers and my friends. Sadly the one good teacher retired a couple years ago. Anyway, if you value your child's mental health at all don't send them to this school unless you want them to get jumped by 15 different kids.

I went to PCHS and from other students from other schools were surprised how much the school offers. All four years I was involved with the medical program there. There was also web design, automotive, cosmotology and much more. PCHS can give experiences that other schools cannot. I had wonderful teachers that were willing to help. For parents and future students keep in mind if you try and advocate for yourself then you will have the helpful teaching staff.
