I am a current 8th grade student at PJHS. This school is the best! Like: All the teachers respect you and treat you like an individual. The teachers also always do their best to help us (the students) and they go out of their way to help us as well by coming before school and staying late after school. Pontiac is a clean, safe, and friendly place to be! The classes are also very amazing. Ex. Depco is a class they offer where you can create your own shirt, make your own carton on the computer, photographing, a pilot simulator, and much more. The school has gotten even better since they added the new addition! (6th-8th grade) Dislikes: We can't carry totes around to every class, but I asked the principal about it and its pending!

Like: Small school with easier parent/teacher interaction; safe and no known drugs/thugs. Dislikes: Limited class opportunities (such as language, lib arts, etc); curriculum is very basic. The teachers push out more homework than any school I've ever been affiliated with. My daughter averages 3 hrs of homework a night. Makes me wonder what they're doing in class.

Pontiac is a good school to make friends. Everybody is really friendly and the food is great.Although the physical education department is in need of a few adjustments.
