PN-G High School is also accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The curriculum is structured to serve all students--both the college-bound and the work-oriented student.

PN-GISD students consistently perform well on standardized measures of achievement. TAAS scores are consistently above state and national averages. Other testing measures also indicate strong academic preparation.

On the primary levels, the emphasis is on the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, including individualized instruction for both remedial and enrichment purposes.
At the middle school level the students are introduced to a departmentalized program. In addition to basic subjects, exploration in art, music, band, industrial arts, computer literacy, foreign languages, and homemaking are offered.
