Prospect High School

My daughter had a very difficult time while she attended school here. Teachers were not helpful and lacked communication skills. Our family moved to an area where she was able to receive the individualized education that she needed to be successful in school.

After being a student here for 4 years, I believe I have the credentials to give this place a well thought out review. First of all, most students here mainly believe they are in fact God's gift. They feel extremely entitled if they say everything each teacher wants to hear and get an above average grade in the class. On top of that, majority of the students are stressed out about getting into college and take life way too seriously. The general culture is formed around conformity and not individual expression, which is quite evident. In terms of education quality, most classes are based on how well you can memorize information. Most teachers will make classes harder than it needs to be and if your work doesnt match or correlate to the specific rubric they have developed in their mind, it is wrong. Why did I get C's in English in high school, but straight A's once I got to college? My work did not change I can tell you that much. If an incident occurs in a classroom, whether it be behavioral or something as simple as a spill, some teachers will not ask you what happened but will just say it is your fault and will embarrass you in front of the room. I've been yelled at by several tutors just for asking a simple question. I've been yelled at for using facilities as an adult after I have raised over $5,000 for the athletic programs. Extremely unprofessional. In terms of the positive, the only thing I can think of is the campus itself. It is very well maintained and very pleasing to be around and look at. That is all I have to say.

Excellent school. It is a beautiful, clean facility with caring, intelligent staff. Best of all, they have a full-time therapy dog!!

Kinda weird reviewing a high school, but here goes: people do move into the District for their kids to come here. PHS does get high standardized scores. They do have a new swimming pool, excellent music department. Take a tour.

Wow..... this high school was different I loved the teachers but the lunch was not good. They did not let me go to Panda Express and the hotdogs were soggy. The principle also took away my phone and my fidget cube. The pizza is also very very hard.
