Puyallup High School

Posted July 20, 2008

phs is an excellent school. they offer a lot more courses than most highschools and they have very dedicated teachers. i noticed there isnt an extreme amount of drama and issues at phs. students forming cliques isnt a very big issue. phs is a pretty friendly school and most of the kids seem to be pretty nice. i definitly recomend this school to anyone. my kids have never had any trouble with the staff or making friends. the school environment is a very pleasant one.

I went to Puyallup as a sophomore and I am in full time running start this year. In my experience I did not enjoy Puyallup, but I don't enjoy the drama that happens at virtually every high school. The teachers are very competent and responsive to the students. The rules are a little lax but the administrators truly do care about the students and are doing what they believe is best for the students, and I agree with their standards for the most part. There isn't as much diversity as I would like but students are accepted. The couselors and advisors are very helpful and understanding. In regard to the locker situation it is not logical to have them on the campus it is large and the passing period is 5 minutes and to extend it would take away from class periods. Overall Puyallup is a good school.

Courses are relevent and teachers have a young style that relates well with teenagers. For a public school, they do a good job of raising 'academic' students. The sports program is top notch and the music program is also fantastic. There is a small town feel to the school, with parents being a large part of many of the programs. The nice part is that they also empower the students to take an active part in many of the programs also. I think the only downside is that they seem to have 'parent/staff managed programs' and 'student managed programs'... they could do a better job of intertwining this.

Puyallup has some great oppertutinies and a nice enviroment for children. For the most part PHS is a clam relaxed and low crime school. They have a wull qualified staff for the most part and a good learning curiculum. They offer some music classes, lately thr district has been cutting some of those classes out, but they still have choir, band, and ochestra. They also have some art and they are pretty good about sports. there is a bigger push for boys football then anything else, but also that is the sport that brings in the most money. they also have an equal amount of compensation for the other boys and girls sports. Overall it is a great school in a great community.
