I had two students graduate from PFHS, one in 2018 and one in 2020. Both students took advantage of honors classes throughout the 4 years as well and dual enrollment through University of Idaho (U of I) and North Idaho College (NIC). One student graduated PFHS with just one class remaining for her Associate's degree. They also had a department dedicated to assisting students with college admissions, campus tours, scholarships, grants, and even in-person FAFSA workshops where they helped for every question every step of the way. For students not on the university path, they're partnered with KTEC where students do morning general ed classes at PFHS and afternoon workforce/industry-business grade training at KTEC. They really strive to help each student succeed based on their individual path. As with all schools, parent involvement in their student's progress is key, and PFHS teachers and counselors worked with my students and myself to meet my students' goals.

I admit this was a decent school. There were some pretty good programs, such as honors, AP, and Dual Credit courses--if it wasn't for my success in this school, I wouldn't be in the Naval Nuclear Power program right now--but there really is a lack of focus on pushing students to succeed. Frankly, I was never really challenged in this school. The school focuses way too much on athletics and really should put more funding into academic and humanitarian courses as well as equipment and books. Many of my classes throughout the course of my attendance lacked even books that were up-to-date. Nevertheless, there are some passionate teachers that do very well at their job; however, this school could really use more motivation

It's really just an average school. As someone else has mentioned I do really wish they spent less attention on the school's athletics and more on the academics, as some teachers really should not be teaching (but of course we have some of the best teams in the state) There are a few teachers that genuinely care about the students but as a whole the staff is somewhat mediocre.
