Not a pleasant place to work under the current administration. Teachers are pressured to pass students and inflate grades if necessary.

prospect high is awesome; the students are great, and so are the staff.

Prospect High School
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.
