I had two kids graduate from this school. The teachers are go above and beyond! The school is clean and organized. This is a public school ran more like a private school.

My experience was very positive. Parents have good access to the administration and the kids are encouraged and challenged at the same time.

This is the worst school in HARCO. The amount of violence that happens in this school that isnt handled is horrendous .

This school has a reputation of being a good school but from my experiences and the experiences of people I know, it was pretty bad. The thing is, the reason our school gets a good wrap is because the students dont get caught. All of secrets are held there. Nuff said.

It saddens me to see the decline of the education system in Harford County. With so many quality teachers leaving for higher paying counties (or leaving the profession altogether), PMHS is left with a handful of excellent teachers and a significant number of mediocre-to-poor instructors in some very important college-core classes. We should be able to do better, but the local politicians continue to brag about how we've managed to do what we do with so little funding. It's time to open your eyes and acknowledge that the recent years of "little funding" are taking their toll on our students. It's regrettable and makes our students less competitive as they prepare for college.
