What people are saying

by a student
Monday, December 19, 2016

I went to PMS for two year (6th and one quarter in 7th), but I recently transferred because of how horrible it was. The kids there are extremely disrespectful and the teachers are stressed out. I just couldn't learn in the environment. I do not recommend PMS to anyone, unless you don't actually want to get an education. Close Quote
