I graduated from here, since I have gone on to receive a B.S., a Masters, and going for another degree after landing a dream position in a company. This school unfortunately did not prepare me for my time in college, and my time at PBHS was filled with test prepping that was not on target. When looking back, the bullying and the programs against it were non-existent, watching others get bullied in front of staff. I won't go too much further on this other than the staff would rather not deal with the paperwork, and believe nothing happened. The biggest thing, and the reason why everyone should avoid this school is college prep. It is non-existent trying to get you ready for a test. Going to college is a shell-shock and the quality of work that many classes at PBHS will not prepare most students for this. The largest thing I want to touch on was I felt very alone during my application process, additionally the counselors never informed me of certain due dates required for Bright Futures; years of volunteer work, well over 200 hours, plus Honors and AP classes, for nothing. If you are thinking of looking at this school, I have heard others near by do a better job or preparing you, or your child, for college. I wish my parents selected a different location 10 years ago.

This school has demonstrated ongoing issues with transparency, professionalism, and appropriate student treatment. As parents, we have repeatedly experienced information being withheld or misrepresented regarding our child’s academic performance and classroom conduct. In one instance, a teacher made a false accusation about our child’s behavior, which we were able to disprove. Rather than resolving the issue constructively, this situation further damaged the parent–teacher relationship due to a lack of accountability and professionalism.Several staff members have displayed a condescending and dismissive attitude toward parents, creating an environment that feels adversarial rather than collaborative. Communication from the front office has also been consistently unprofessional and unhelpful, which only compounds these concerns.As parents of multiple children at this school, and as members of a broader community of families who have reported similar experiences, we have formally escalated these concerns to the school board. The district director has acknowledged the complaints and has indicated that an investigation into the school’s practices will be initiated.Of particular concern are disciplinary practices that appear to be routinely applied across entire classes or grade levels, including:1.Silent lunch, which constitutes group punishment and raises legal and policy concerns.2.The repeated denial of recess, reportedly occurring almost daily for one or more grade levels.These practices, combined with the broader issues of communication, integrity, and professionalism, have significantly eroded our trust in the school’s leadership and staff. We believe these matters warrant serious review to ensure that students are treated fairly, lawfully, and with respect.
