Nepotism at it best and they do not try to hide it. If you don't like it here, oh well. Military families should not be forced to go to a school that is not supported by the local community.

The teacher are nice and the students are as well. We do a lot of activities for sports and homecoming.

All my teachers were really good but I felt a bit behind. I moved to Louisiana from Mississippi and the curriculums are very different. The curriculum at pickering seemed little behind to me which is while I switched to all AP classes and Dual Enrollment.

Mind you, the state of Louisiana has the worst educational system in the U.S. Please, save your time and do not set foot in Pickering High school. The teachers...
