Piedmont classical charter is an excellent school. The administration and staff prioritize making their school safe and academically solid. They are knowledgeable of both students and families and sincerely care about their needs. Both of my children had excellent experiences at this school.

Overall, Piedmont Classical High School is extremely flawed. From teachers who use AI for their entire lesson to teachers who dedicate their life to their students, PCHS has a lot of work to do. After spending 4 years at PCHS I wish I would've gone to a school where people care for each other and don't only look out for themselves.

Piedmont classical high school administrators and principal are very involved in the school, though funny and cool to be around they will snap into discipline mode if needed. Overall the school gets your college ready and prepares the students for oncoming challenges in their life.
