I am a new parent at PCS with two children enrolled. This school has been a wonderful environment for my children to thrive in. The teachers are all so wonderful and caring. Yes, it is an academically challenging school, providing fantastic opportunities to students who are ready to take the next step. The school is very supportive to all students. We love the close knit community this school offers. The smaller class size provides more individualized instruction that has been very beneficial. A truly wonderful school!

Now looking back after graduating high school, I feel this school had a negative impact, if any impact whatsoever to my overall education. The teachers were either nice people with terrible teaching skills or plain terrible all around. Throughout my three years at the school, I was bullied to the point that I did not want to come to school in fear of what I would face.Even after telling the guidance counselor and principal multiple times, nothing was ever done. School used to be enjoyable for me, but PCS changed that. Hopefully, I never have to set foot on those grounds again.
