Posted by a parent on 12/11/2021a nightmare of staggering proportions, your children are not safe unless you take measures to protect them from these people
Posted by a parent on 12/11/2019This school has improved so much over the last two years and is doing so well. It was just named 2019 School of Excellence. New principal and staff are doing an amazing job at improving the quality of school all around. The grounds are in great shape, a lot of building construction, improvements took place over the last two summers. The gym has been improved with fresh paint, floors refinished, basketball hoops were replaced to accommodate little children in lower grades, doors replaced and so much more. Hallways and bathrooms are very clean, classrooms look better and better each year, front office nice and clean. Most teachers are friendly and care about children. Kids are always excited to go to this school. It can be seen on their faces and heard any day you stop in. Hope the school gets the ratings they deserve for working so hard.
Posted by a parent on 9/12/2019This school has maintenance issues, it is in need of someone caring about it's safety for the children who will maintain the school building and grounds. It is an old building which requires a lot of work to have it become safe and sound for our children. There are also issues with bullying which are not being addressed at the student/teacher level. Not enough has been done as a whole to prevent bullying. Naming names is not going to help "Prevent" bullying. A preventive program should be put in place which involves the entire school attending an assembly or meeting as and entire class instead of one classroom at a time. Also teachers should be trained/attend seminars on how to handle bullying in the school/online. I do feel some teachers are lacking the motivation to teach and involve their students in the process, due to lack of interest, burn-out or not enough support from the school staff itself. However, this school does have a fabulous preschool program and from shat I can see children with special needs tend to receive the help/assistance they require.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 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.Parent Review9y ago
