Prospect High School Reviews

Reviewed
 Diane S. Peck
We've had a very good experience with the Administration & Faculty @ Prospect High School and find them very supportive of parent involvement.  A schools' reputation is built on API ratings but doesn't tell the whole story until you look at student demographics.  Our 2007 API rating was 741 but when you look at subgroups, 80% of our students were actually performing at an API high of 815 but were impacted by 20% of our students that are disadvantaged.  Our Athletic Programs have been very successful; 2-Time State Wrestling Champion, Girls Varsity Basketball & Boys Varsity Baseball @ CCS, Wrestling, Girls Swimming, Track/Field & Badminton All League Champions & Football 2nd in League.  95% of Prospect students go to college; 36% - 4 year college, 59% - 2 year college.  Those stats are the true measure of a school's success.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
