Pinnacle has a culture directed towards involvement. If you're one to join in and participate in everything you can get your hands on then this is the school for you. However, those that aren't particularly outspoken tend to not be given the same resources and opportunities. There are too many students to too little faculty to balance the needs of all students .

Pinnacle High School has been the perfect high school experience. All the staff members have made this school feel safe enough for me and my friends to make amazing memories. The culture of Pinnacle is one of the bests, every dance or sports game are always memorable. I am so glad I attended Pinnacle for my 4 years of high school and I feel prepared for college.

Pinnacle High School is lacking in the CTE offerings, that surrounding schools offer. The sports are very big at Pinnacle. Diversity is lacking, but that is likely due to the demographic of the area.

I played basketball all four years and faced discrimination from the head coach. During my time as a player many gi...

Overall the school is a bit above average. I currently have 2 students attending it. Both have had experiences with their respective science teachers quitting or getting fired mid school year and not having a good back up plan. My Freshman's science teacher was originally just a substitute but was m...

In general, I think what a student gets out of school is that student puts into it. There are plenty of opportunities to move up to Honors and AP classes where the teachers and curriculum are fantastic, otherwise the education for regular classes are okay (no motivation, teachers fail to hold respec...
