Perry Hall High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-11-06 “great school.....very overcrowded” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-08-01 “PHHS could not have done a better job preparing my daughters for college. My oldest earned an engineering degree, while she says that challenged her, she had a job before graduation and it now pursing her first masters while working full time. My younger daughter said that PHHS actually 'over prepared' her, her words not mine. She said that if anything is hard, that is was high school, hence the Deans List in College semester after semester. If you are willing to learn this is the place to be.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 4 2008-02-05 “cons: dangerously overcrowded hallways, the first of 4 lunch periods starts at 10:15am, the administration is not consistant with discipline (the larger problem, however, is bcps) pros: an outstanding staff from the teachers to the custodians and cafeteria, a terrific community, good kids (even the bad ones are pretty good)” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-02-19 “I am a student at PHHS who transferred in from a small private school and entered the AP/GT program. While yes, the school is overcrowded and the trailers are a drag, the quality of my education is excellent. I've had classes in the trailers, and while it might be annoying to have to go outside to get to them, the classrooms are well-equipped with blackboards, televisions, and heating so that learning is not a problem. At PHHS, you get whatever you seek. If you are a hard worker you will get a great education as the teachers are very willing to get involved and help however they can. If you are unmotivated and don't care about school, however, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. One complaint is that the administration is extremely unorganized and communication among the staff is terrible. However, extracurriculars and other electives are plentiful.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-05-04 “I am a mother of a senior and a freshman so I feel as though I can speak from experience. My senior has done very well at Perry Hall High School and is looking forward to pursuing a degree in the engineering field. My daughter is a freshman and although she doesn't care for school overall, she is enjoying the opportunity to play on a junior varsity sports team at Perry Hall High School. The teachers are terrific and are well educated. The administration is easily approachable. I would recommend this high school to any parent.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2005-12-05 “12-5-05 I am a very intellegent student among many at perry hall high school. In each and every single class that i have had here at perry hall high school, i have learned a moral. This moral is that our teachers are so eager to pass all of their students. Many teachers strive each day to help each student as individuals. Our teachers work so hard in everything that they do. Everday, they come to work. Through thick, and thin.. They are there. If they are sick, they are still prevalant and ready to work. The teachers give us every opportunity to be succesful in life. I have learned to try my best.. Even if my best isn't an a+, i have reached success! I love this school! I feel as if Perry Hall High School is the best school in the entire world!!! go hall!!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2005-11-12 “Im a student in 11th grade and i find the school to be great the croud is not that bad and the new hallway is helpful and u can get to the old wing faster that way. I think perry hall is a great school.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2005-09-29 “Iam currently in the eleventh grade and I think Perry Hall is a great school! The music program is outstanding and there are a wide variety of sports teams and extracurricular clubs and activities. The AP/GT program is excellent and the classes are taght by experienced and dedicated teachers.Though so many people complain about the school being overcrowed, as a student who currently goes there, the crowd is not that big of an issue. I arrive to all my classes on time with relative ease and there is always somewhere to sit at lunch. As for the trailers, they are not the most appealing site, but they provide an adequate learing environment. I would definalelty recomemnd Perry Hall High Shcool.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-07-31 “I am a parent with two children, a son and a daughter, who both graduated from PHHS. They were fortunate to be attending in the 1996 to 2002 time frame, when the number of 'portable classrooms' cluttering up the landscape was near a minimum, thanks in part to the major expansion of the new wing. Now, I drive by the school every day and shudder to see the cluster of boxes outside, warehousing students instead of giving them the learning environment that they deserve, and our exorbitant taxes pay for. The Board of Education and the county officials are still 'studying' to see if they think an new high school is needed!!!! Houses are being built all over the Perry Hall/White Marsh area at a phenomenal rate, and people are gravititating to the area en masse, but the PTB aren't sure if we need a new school??? Give me a break!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-05-09 “The AP classes are excellent! I have 1 son graduated and 1 currently enrolled. They are both AP students. However, it is a CRIME how overcrowed the school is and they build a hallway? My son even said it is a waste. If your child is not focused and mature they can get chewed up and lost in the crowd. I only recommend this school for students who are serious about their education and cannot be lead a stray.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2005-01-20 “This school offers many good academic classes but it is simply way overcrowded. Last year, an additional lunch had to be added because the fire marshall came in and noted the lunchs were a fire hazard. This school has way more than the posted 22xx students. It's operating capacity is under 2000 already. No school should have to have TWELVE trailers, and the school's solution is to build a $700,000 hallway.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-01-16 “If you are a GT/AP student, PHHS is a great place to be. Those teachers are dedicated and will always help their students succeed. However, lower level students tend to get left behind. The administration makes no sense sometimes, making ridiculous rules because of a small number of delinquents that have nothing better to do than get on everyone's nerves. I graduated in 2004 from the GT/AP program, and I made it into one of the country's top universities, but the majority of the graduates end up at Essex. Just a warning.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 1 2005-01-14 “I think that this school is horrible. The teachers there are rude to the kids. They don't care about the kids, all they care about is making money for themselves. It is way crowded there. The kids there are out of control. The teachers are rude to the students and to the parents. They need to build another school. I don't know what they are waiting for. I graduate from the school and I hate to tell people that I did.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-10-20 “I graduated in 2004 and very pround to say from Perry Hall High School. It is overcrowded, but PHHS is not alone with that problem in this county and supposively going to 'fix' it. I was in mostly standard/college prep classes and got a great education. All of my teachers that I had were extremly helpful and caring, with the exception of a few. I particapated in the color gaurd and indoor gaurd twirling a rifle and had the time of my life. Everyone can be friends with everyone and it's just an awesome school.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-09-01 “As a 2004 graduate of Perry Hall, I found my entire experience rewarding and enriching. There are so many extracurricular activities to become involved in at the school, that everyone can find something to suit them. The teachers are absolutely amazing. Majority of them will bend over backwards to help you succeed. True the overcrowding is a problem, but if you are in honors or GT/AP level courses, the classes are smaller. The music program is amazing, and as a former band student, marching band participant, and former musical participant, I cannot say enough good things about that aspect of the school. The discipline of the students is getting increasingly higher as the administration is becoming stricter, which at times isn't a good thing. But nonetheless, the administration has the students interests at heart, and do what they can to protect them and feel safe at school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-08-18 “My daughter is going to 10th grade this year. In 9th grade it was hard for her the first couple of days. It is a very over populated school. Also, many students got suspended for drug use, fighting, and cusing. Also, I don't believe it is right for entering 9th graders to have to sit with 10th, 11th and 12th graders at lunch. They should get to know people in their own grade. My other daughter is entering 9th grade this year. I hope she has a better experience than her sister. She is very nervous but she will have to go through with it.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-07-31 “Perry Hall High School is so big, it has great and awesome teaching. I loved my child going to Perry Hall High School. It is crowded though.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2004-04-24 “I went to PHHS in 1979 and children didn't act like the students today .parents have to take responsabilty for some of the things their children do in school. some things are learned at home. Some parents believe you should not yell at your children bull crap, Some children will run all over their parents and some children could care less if they get suspended from school. Children that act up in school should have to have their parents sit with them in class. The parents then will take a good hard look at their dear darling children and see what they really do in school when they are suppose to be learning.Wake up parents your children are capable of harming other students.Also the school needs to bring charges against these students that assalt other students.Our children are here to learn not to be bullied by other students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-03-18 “My daughter attended PHHS two years ago. The overcrowding produced several problems. Because the halls were extremely overcrowded, delinquent students are able to assault their classmates without revealing an identity. Between classes, my daughter experienced other students spitting on her from an upper level stairwell. According to my daughter, this is one of many known disturbing incidents which occur daily when attempting to change class. When I spoke with the administration, this student's accountability for the violation of snotty green mucas landing in my daughter's mouth, was zero. Although, I witnessed this same incident occur twice that day. There are programs in place at
