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.

My daughter loves Pine Forest so much we drive over an hour every day for her to attend! She is reading above grade level and learning about all of the arts. She loves her teachers and we love that she actually enjoys learning now! She has gained friends and confidence as well as getting a top notch education.
