The water fountain next to the weight room:
The second floor is home to the gym, weight room, student services and many classrooms, full of thirsty students in search of hydration. Unfortunately, they will not find it on most fountains on the second floor, which have lukewarm water and poor pressure—except for the fountain next to the weight room. It is a perfectly average fountain, making it excellent in comparison to the competition that has crumbled under the thirst of hundreds of kids every day. Somehow, this fountain has remained strong.

The (lower) water fountain next to the wrestling room:
This is the only fountain on this list where I am only referring to the lower fountain. The upper fountain is actually excellent, with balanced water pressure and ideal temperature. The lower fountain earns its spot here for its insane water pressure and comedic value, making it a shoo-in for this list. Its positioning also makes it quickly accessible for anyone exercising in the wrestling room or nearby music students.

The right water fountain on the fifth floor:
The best water fountain in the school is on the fifth floor, to the right of the bathrooms. Its water pressure is superb, the temperature is as frigid as it gets in this school, and it has excellent filtration. You don’t need to worry about lead or microplastics in the water—PPS has improved from past concerns about high lead levels.
