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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I moved to Pendleton County last summer. Starting a new school my junior year, I was scared. My first day of school my counselor and many teachers came to me in a comforting manner. I was immediately connected with many people and began to adapt well from that point. My overall experience has been amazing and I cannot say that there is any one thing I would change. I am confident that through the help of the school staff my senior year will be one to remember.

The teachers are terrible, does not prepare you for college at all. Administration is a joke, few good teachers.

I like the closeness of the school. It's nice knowing everyone. I would change the appearance of the school. It's not pleasing to the eye unless administration visits. Also, the curriculum needs to be geared toward advanced students as well as students who need extra help. It's not fair to the students who work hard to be shorted. However, my experience so far at PCHS has been satisfactory.
