School Reviews
| 5 PSAS is an excellent leadership college prep school with a rigor curriculum which easily challenges students effectively for college life. I am so pleased that PSAS is an option for excellent education and college prep. - Posted by Parent - none |
| 5 Personally, I like this school.Every school has their own graduation requirements for college-bound or tech-prep student;I think your grauation requirements are a little to harsh. You need to lighten up a little. I know you all are preparing the students to be successful future leaders,but give them a break. - Posted by Student/Alumni - babyg |
