This School’s Reviews

4.0 Alum

2/11/2025

Pickens High School has its ups and downs, as most schools do, moreover, it had difficulties keeping staff and keeping active student involvement. They did, however, have really nice and new facilities. One improvement they can make is listening to the student body, specifically within the restrooms and common facilities such as the hallways.

3.0 Senior

8/19/2022

The small and tight-knit community was refreshing and stale at the same time. The bond formed with classmates and teachers was always a great bonus, but the security was lackluster.

The standards they hold their students to are an absolute disgrace to the public education system. They offer little to n...

They do not care about students learning or mental health and harshly punish students for things other schools would just give a warning for. They focus on test scores and use humility to force kids to work harder when there are so many more ways to encourage being hard working. Parents are not info...
