GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school has little to no diversity and does not offer classes that would aid you in getting accepted to a competitive university. I had the best experiences in the foreign language classes I took here.

Attending Pisgah was a wonderful experience. Many of the teachers and staff were incredible and helped me so much. I made many incredible friends that I will carry with me far into my adult life, and found an incredible group of people that helped me find my purpose in life.
