Excellent school system with amazing teachers and staff. Great school!

As a new eighth grader at this school I truly think that this is one of the best schools that I’ve ever moved to. The teachers are supportive and actually take their time to help the students who need help. The food is better than I would expect from a school, but maybe that’s just compared to Dover. I appreciate that they have algebra classes for eighth graders, who feel like they can take a step up from the normal math we would be learning so moving into the high school we can jump ahead. Overall, I would recommend sending your kid here.

My child transitioned from Alton Central School, a k-8th grade school, to PMHS and he absolutely LOVES PMHS! It's a fairly small school with excellent teachers who genuinely care for the children and provide every opportunity for kids to stay after school if they need additional help. The school has many clubs which include World Culture Club, Robotics, and most common athletic teams. They have a big ski team. The Bass Fishing Team which won 1st in the state. This school DOES NOT have a football team. It's hard to believe but NO FOOTBALL TEAM, so they recently developed a fall "Homecoming" for the sake of the students. If kids want to play football I've heard kids can travel to Kingswood High School in Wolfeboro NH and play there but I don't know of anyone who has done this. I see my child attending school, happy with great friends and 5 As and 2 B grades that where 89% for the entire year. He gets up eager to go to school, likes to stay after when he needs help, has never complained of anyone bullying or any other disturbing issues and he missed only 3 days of school for doctor or dental appointments. I'd rate this school a 8/10. I'd say 10/10 if I knew test scores for all.
