This school is nice in the sense that it is culturally diverse. It offers many clubs and programs such as Key Club, Decca, Dance team and many more. Their guidlines are enforced, sometimes. The only 'bad' things about PHS is are crowded and old the school is!
The programs that this school has to offer are very impressive. There are more advanced placement classes at this school than most other schools. The variety of classes, extracurricular activities, and events are much to be desired. There is a lot of pride from the community surrounding the school as well.
The academics at Pasco High are unbelievably weak. Very few foreign language and honors classes are offered. Students see a 'one size fits all' attitude in classes and teachers take little time to help students who are struggling individually. Many gifted students are forced to stay behind while other students catch up so everyone can be average. More emphasis is placed on sports, especially football. Players get the minimum grade needed to participate, it should be the opposite. Music and Arts have little emphasis and clubs/extracurricular activities are few and weak. I would not send my child to this school having spent 4 years adding extra home study courses to my routine in order to test well enough for college. The staff makes students wear name badges in order to attend and learn, what a waste of money that could be used to fund a better selection of classes/teachers.
I feel there are many great things going on at PHS but the high number of kids that they have hinder the student involvement. This is supported by the low numbers in many of the sporting events as well as the student involvement at the government level. Kids need to feel that they 'matter' in order for them to 'belong' to school organizations.
