This school is utterly terrible. The low-income students have very little opportunities compared to the many many kids of higher income families. Many of the faculty members have no regard for student’s background, religion, etc. There are many clubs/activities that are exclusive to a certain group of students, specifically Christian. On top of all of that, the school’s bullying situation is out of control and the teachers and principals don’t even care. I have been called slurs and made fun of for my mental issues and the way I dress, as well as the way that I identify as a person. Me and my friends would be threatened for suspension for standing for what we believe in while the kids who verbally and physically assaulted us got off with a clean slate. If you are part of any minority, I do not recommend this school. Most of the kids are privileged and think that they are better than others because of that. A few of the teachers are hateful and inconsiderate, and the kids who play sports have it better off. It goes with the whole school hierarchy stick that you see in movies. The students often act as if it’s every person for themself instead of the fact that they’re all in it together.

This school is just based on popularity, the Prinpicipal for the Primary building has no idea on how to educate. Times have change their is more and more children with disabilities. My son has a disability and do to my son's compulsiveness he was given a paddle. It was awful for me because I really don't have a rights I was told is either a paddle or suspension. They have no special classes for children with disabilities. Everytime I speak to the principal he acts like he know's more then me when it comes to my child. I feel discriminated against because I am hispanic.

So far everyone at pbs has been so supportive of my daughter and her education.

Never send your child here. I was called a bad mother, just because I let my child express herself. I let her dye her hair unnatural colors, and I get a call wanting me to dye it a natural color. Why? She wants her hair like that I let her. HOW DARE YOU SAY I'M A BAD MOTHER? I not letting her do drugs. Most of the children, and teachers there do. Don't point out my child, and say that it is wrong that her hair is like that, but let her be bulled by her peers, and TEACHERS! DON"T CALL ME A BAD MOTHER, WHEN YOU ARE A BAD SCHOOL!

Very negative. The principal at the primary yelled or talked down to me in front of staff. She did not ask me what was going just reprimanded me for my daughters excessive tardiness. Usually a few minutes late at most. I was the care taker for my Uncle who died and my mother was having psychotic episodes and I was about to fall apart. I would never send my child to this school. We will be homeschooling.
