Paschal High School

Son is a graduating senior and could have learned more this past year by watching the history or discovery channel - this includes three AP classes - the teachers here show very little interest in actually teaching the students...especially in AP classes - also - the principal will only listen to parent concerns if you are actively "invovled" in the school (stay at home mom who can spend many hours volunteering or have money to give). Investigate this school and don't rely on the past reputation - it has taken a nose-dive!

Paschal is the Highland Park (Dallas) of Fort Worth. If you compare National Merit Finalists and AP scores - Paschal is always among the elite DFW schools. GO PANTHERS!

Our two children graduated from Paschal after spending their K-8 years at private schools. We were nervous about public schools, but we quickly discovered that our fears were unfounded. Paschal is great. There is a place for everyone there. Both of our children have gone on to attend top colleges, and they were very well prepared. We feel blessed that our children were able to attend Paschal.

I graduated in Paschal in 2008 and am now a senior in college and I can attest that I received an excellent education. When I got to college it was obvious that I had received a better education than many of my peers. I am now majoring in Secondary Education - Social Studies and I plan to use the teachers I had in high school as models to help my future students achieve the same academic success that I was able to so that they may continue their education and be successful in whatever endeavors they may undertake. Go Panthers!

Paschal High School is one of the best academic schools in Fort Worth. Children that have spent their entire education in magnet programs will choose Paschal over the magnet high schools, just because the academics are so much better. My daughter graduated from Paschal in 2006 and she and all of her friends all pursued higher education. Not one of them stopped at high school. Although the "home students" -the students that live in the surrounding area- may not be as successful as the students that have transferred in, it is not a failure of the school, but rather a failure of those parents that don't seem to realize the potential of their own children. I would recommend Paschal High School to any family in the Fort Worth area.

We win academically. Girls soccer has won back-to-back district championships. Orchestra, choir, and band have great programs. I absolutely love my teachers, they all put in an amazing amount of outside work and provide tutoring hours. There are many extracurricular activities to get involved in; everyone can find a place to belong at PHS. Plus we have the most national merit semi-finalists in the area.

I attended Paschal and was graduated in 1963. The education that I acquired at Paschal most certainly prepared me for the world ahead of me. My daughter also graduated from Paschal. I am now retired and have been for several years. In addition to my daughter and myself being graduated from Paschal, my mother and my uncle, who is now a retired dentist, both graduated form Paschal. If you are considering a high school for your child or yourself, Pascal should be placed at the top of your list.

This is a very strong academic school. In the latest Newsweek High School Ranking, Paschal was ranked #171 in the nation. This puts Paschal in the top 1% of all public high schools in the U.S. Whiz quiz has won 6 consecutive years, more National Merit scholars than any other high in North Texas. #I state in computer programmimg competition. State competition in Chemistry and physics. District champions: girls soccer team x3 years, boys soccer , the swim team has several state ranked (1,3, 5) swimmers. Wrestling team went to state.

I graduated in '03 and had 2 aunts, brother and now little sister to graduate from here. This is hands down one of the best schools in Fort Worth. Not only are the teachers the best but so is the atmosphere. The school is very proud to be nationally recognized not only in academics but in athletics as well. I would definately recommend this school to any parent.

Paschal is the best school I've ever been. The teachers are the best because they're challenging. I'm a bit lazy to do my work buy the teachers helped me to get back on track. I love it! I love it! I love it!

I went to Paschal ('83) and now my son goes to Paschal, and I would not have him at any other Fort Worth High School. Paschal is #90 on Newsweek's Best U.S. Public High Schools list. We have more National Merit Scholars than all the other Fort Worth high schools combined. Paschal is the first school that has challenged my son. He is in all honors and AP classes. Any student can take these classes if they choose to - it's open to every student. What this school accomplishes is all the more amazing considering the demographics of the school. Yes, we have students from wealthy families, but we also have many first-generation students who have limited English skills. Dr. Meng is an incredible principal, and John Hamilton is our Academic Coordinator and a legend in education.

We have relocated to Fort Worth from the northeast and found that Paschal was the best choice our family ever made. The academics are as good as the private schools, and the variety of courses and activities available to the students are amazing. They are extremely welcoming to new students. There is a wide variety of socioeconomic groups that attend Paschal which is an important life lesson as well! We couldn't be more pleased to see how our teens are thriving!

Paschal is a great school to get an education at. The school as an academic coordinator who really knows what he is doing. He frequently checks up on the students, to help them choose the right classes, or even just to chat about how their classes are going. Paschal is a great school to go to if you want to be involved and proactive about your childs education.
