Pelham Memorial High School Reviews

123 reviews
All Categories
Pelham Memorial High School is the classic medium to large sized public school that has set its standards very high in comparison to other public schools around the nation. The determination of the teachers to help the students is impeccable. But the problem is that the teachers are always required to have a minimum amount of homework, tests, or quizzes. Especially in the case of the language department where many times we would be faced with two to three assessments a week. Socially, if you play sports, and like to push your liver to the brink, you will have no problem feeling welcomed by other groups. Otherwise, you can easily feel unwelcomed because of the close-minded peers that you share the halls with.

The teachers put their best efforts to help you understand the material. They give you a choice of many different types of activities/clubs to help you figure out your interests. It's a very friendly environment and their is support all around. This school also offers open enrollment so you choose between different class to find the one that best suits you. Finding a good collage is hard, the counselors here do everything to make sure your attending your best fit collage.
My experience at Pelham Memorial High School has been one of great prestige. Not only have I grown as an individual and young adult, but I have adapted many skills that consist of interacting with people, especially my teachers. Attending Pelham Memorial High School is more than getting a high school degree, as the staff there is truly dedicated with providing students, such as myself, with the best experience possible.
