I really enjoyed my time at PSHS when I was a student there. I thought the teachers of the honors and AP classes did a great job not only in getting me ready to take the AP exams but to be prepared for college level work as well. I ended up passing all the AP exams I took. The secret to success in high school/college/masters/doctorate level classes is finding motivation in yourself to study on your own and learn the material. Nobody is going to spoon feed you and the AP/honors classes reinforced that quite well. I had to work hard for my grades in those courses. I didn’t rewlly enjoy the regular elective classes that were required because they were a joke, the teachers and students didn’t seem to care in them at all, and teachers in those classes played favorites. If you want to go to college and be prepared for the real world in academics, take the AP and honors courses. You’ll be forced to study and do a lot of homework at home on your own, but it’s worth it because college is like that. I can honestly say the people in my high school class who took the AP and honors courses have had much success in college/masters/doctorate programs than those students who didn’t take the AP and honors classes. I don’t regret the late study nights in those courses because it prepared me well for what college was going to be like. Those courses helped me become more efficient in studying.

As a student who just left this school, I can say for sure that it definitely has some problems. The teachers are fine, other than the fact that they have some problems with discipline. As far as teaching goes, they're pretty average. I would recommend this school, simply because I had a good time while I was there, but everyone has a different experience. A decent school, but not the greatest.

My child went to pps for 2 years and the only thing she has learned is “shhhhhhh” with her finger over her mouth Pps stated they had an autism program but failed to tell the parents that they did not hire an autism certified teacher yet and the reason behind that was they had the position posted to hire someone but no one wanted the job Pps are liars and failures
