I had to unenroll my daughters in the first week. They never answer the phones either. I also witnessed the registration ladies being rude to a Hispanic parent who was trying so hard to explain herself to them and instead of them helping her in Spanish they continued to make her have so much trouble.
I did not liked the way they treat people here thats why I didnt trust them with my children.

It is a great school. The kids just make the teachers overwhelmed because a lot of kids are running in class and talking and stuff like that. We need more teachers like Ms.Barrios to be nice to kids and actually teach and help them better.

I am a student at P.H.G and i honestly think its a great school to go to. It is very safe and it is very strict on bullying. The teachers are also great, they spend their time trying to think of something to help their students out. This school has different programs you can have your children sign up for. I think this is an amazing school.

THIS SCHOOL SUCKS! Everyday my son begs me to keep him home, He is struggling with his school work and when he asks for help he says his teachers tell him to just bring it home and ask me. I'm not sure why the Teachers are not wanting to take the time to help these children who are in need of help but it seem slike they would rather just pass it off to the parents. so I say instead of sending our kids to a school who don't care about our kids and there future lets open our own school since our kids are not being taught or even given the opportunity to be successful.

This school is a war zone. The teachers are frequently cursed at by students with little or no consequences from the administration. Very unappealing campus, old outdated buildings and classrooms. Inept principal has been moved to a district position. Hopefully his replacement can turn the school around.
