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.

Pine Creek High School is a supporting and well-put together school that readily prepares each student for a successful post-highschool experience.

The academics, teachers, and facilities are wonderful. The new pool has added some opportunities that were not offered before - lifeguarding classes, aqua sports class, etc. The student body is diverse; however, school pride is not always evident.

I only transferred here for my senior year, but, so far, the extracurricular activities are great with a variety provided to students to explore their interests. Teachers are very supportive and so is the college and career counselor. Sports teams are also highly ranked. The school population is not very diverse, but with a large pool of students, you are able to find a community that fits you.

Non enthused with it. Academics are only if the student is self driven. Sports and coaches only recognize clicks and even parents have clicks in order to get their child on a team or given a title.
