How well are PCHS students prepared for life after high school?
Compared to test scores of other Iowa high schools, our students score in the mid to upper 90th percentile in all of the core subject areas. This means that PCHS composite scores are in the top three to eight percent of all Iowa schools taking the Iowa Tests of Educational Development (ITEDs). Iowa schools rank second in the nation on these standardized tests. We also offer a special education program, a resource room for students with academic needs, and peer tutoring. Our curriculum includes courses for college preparation as well as hands-on classes in office skills, industrial arts, and home economics. Many students also choose to participate in our work release and School-to-Work programs with local businesses.
