I am a graduating IB student of PHS(2009!). PHS displays a general diversity from the academic programs,teachers,and students alike. Though the IB program had a wondrous influence upon the school,I believe the Health Academy and ROTC program equally make contributions of their own. I personally experienced the rigorous ,demanding aspects of the IB program ,while my friends of the Health Academy and ROTC also had to apply themselves academically. PHS also offers various sports and clubs that contribute towards uniting the student body with common interests. I have to agree there was growing animosity between students of different programs ,which I wholeheartedly did not enjoy. However, most teachers are very competent--the problem is mainly with the students and their willingness to learn and apply themselves.

PHS is currently a 'B' school. So, it technically not that bad of a school. I'm in the International Baccalaureate program. I agree that the 'general population' kids push the IB kids around, but it's just that they don't like that there are people who belittle them. It is not as dangerous as people may think. I feel as though I get a quality education. Being in the International Baccalaureate program is a great way to prepare for college. PHS offers many AP courses and the teachers that teached the IB program are the best. It is for this reason, I believe, that PHS is one of the 100 top public high schools in the United States.

I'm currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program as a freshman at PHS. I was referred to the school by my eighth grade english teacher, being told that it would be the safest school for em to go diversity-wise. However, when I look around all I see are the general education kids who crow the hallways and push me out of the way after betting mad because they ran into your backpack. The IB students are not as open-minded as I was told they would be, and had the impression that they would be. I am afraid to be in school sometimes. Not for my life like I was at my other schools, but for my mental well-being from close to everybody being so unaccepting of anybody different than them. Not to mention I hate eating and learning in a repulsive and filthy environment that the facilities turned out to be.
