My son experienced ongoing bullying at this school, and unfortunately we did not see meaningful intervention from the administration. The school’s response to bullying concerns felt minimal, and it was often difficult to reach or speak with the principal about issues that were affecting students.Another concern is safety. There have been gun threats reported more than once during the time my son attended. While the school typically sends an email notifying parents when something happens, there does not appear to be much follow up communication with students about the seriousness of these situations or how they should be addressed.Overall, based on our experience, I would encourage parents who are considering schools in the area to carefully explore their options before enrolling.

This is my daughter's 2nd year in school and she loves it. She cries anytime a she has to be out of school because she misses the teachers so much. Teachers keep you up to date and reply in a timely manner when contacted.

Within a matter of months, our experience with PHUHS and its IB Program has been deeply disappointing and concerning. Our daughter entered the program as a motivated student and a member of the Junior Honor Society, yet during this short period her academic confidence and GPA were significantly impacted, with little meaningful intervention or support provided.As parents, we made multiple attempts to communicate our concerns to both administration and instructional staff, seeking guidance and solutions as our daughter began to struggle. Unfortunately, many of these emails and voicemail messages went unanswered, and responses, when received, came only after the situation had already escalated beyond repair.While we fully acknowledge that students must take responsibility for their academic performance, the transition into a rigorous high school program—particularly one as demanding as IB—requires timely guidance, support, and active involvement from administrators and counselors when challenges arise. Regrettably, this level of support was not evident in our experience.The program promotes a commitment to student success, yet we have observed multiple students being released from the IB Program due to declining grades, which raises concerns about the adequacy of the support systems in place to help struggling students succeed. As parents, it has been disheartening to witness the emotional and academic toll this experience has taken on our daughter, who entered the program with strong aspirations and motivation.
