The same teacher might be wonderful for their AP class but barely tries in the standard classes, this obviously isn't the case for all of them, but enough for it to be noticeable and reportable by many of our peers. Besides that their really isn't too much to complain about, of course there is you typical disrespectful student but I've never seen anything that could amount to "bullying" many of the staff and students are very understanding and kind, I've heard from my parents that this being the case is actually remarkable to them, and from their stories of their schools id have to agree....

It has changed my life, and I am so sad that I only have one year left there. I have cultivated incredible friendships thanks to the drama department. Even though we don't have an auditorium (yet!), each show has been amazing. Sometimes that atmosphere of school can feel immature or judgmental, but I believe each student's experience is typically shaped by who they surround themselves with. The staff is wise and kind. It is evident in that Jesus is the center of their lives and they are trying to be strong role models for us. I have had a great relationship with the majority of my teachers! The classes we take are very diverse and give us a wide worldview. Though some classes are more difficult than others, most of the teachers I've had have been more than accommodating when I need extra help outside of class. Though there's always room to grow, I can't wait to see what God continues to do through my school! I am so blessed by it!...

PCS is by far the best I’ve seen. The certified and/or licensed teachers have varying degrees, and are amazing teachers. They actually love and care so much about the students. They have a diverse student body. The safety standards are the best I’ve encountered. This administration is really doing a great job demonstrating a Christian World View, as well as maintaining high standards and expectations academically and behaviorally for staff and students alike. Money is definitely not a priority, as I’ve read from some reviews years ago. Christian character, respect, humility, and a godly perspective from both students and their families is what I’ve seen most prevalent at PCS. They are accredited through ACSI, an extremely selective association. I’m so thankful to have found this gem of a school for my children and completely treasure it....

I’m currently a freshman, I’m already taking a college course for credits, and by the end of my senior year, I plan to graduate with an associate's degree through Ivy Tech as well as an Autodesk AutoCAD/Fusion 360 Certification. They offer 50+ extracurricular activities, the majority of which often perform on a state or national level. Despite this, there are still downsides to my school, the most prominent of which would be staff. Myself and many others have had negative experiences with staff. Although there are many staff that I’d consider to be excellent mentors and friends of students. Another downside would be food service, while it isn’t the worst school-provided food I’ve seen it can be very unappealing, sometimes even cold. I have many more points but the character count is low. Overall I would say I’m very glad to be studying at Hobart High School!...
