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.

I love Pine Forest! The diverse environment helped me feel comfortable enough to step out of my shell and try new things. The football games are top tier.

Pine forest is a good school full of diversity and opportunities. Being rated a 'B' school in Cumberland County gives us a very broad range of opportunities for example we have FTCC classes offered and a very diverse section of CTE courses in the county.

Pine Forest is an okay school. It's not the worst but it's most certainly not the best. The teachers are okay and do their job most of the time. The students can be pretty annoying. The best part is being able to take college classes at ftcc. The worst part is the culture and the students.

PFHS looks and feels like a...

My review is based on my daughter. She started at the school her freshman year and Graduated with honors 2017. We really liked the school and the guidance counselors seemed to really help the kids with college readiness.
