Best part of Pinnacle - the amount of opportunities (academic, sports, clubs) - you name it and it is available. And if it isn't available, then you can probably talk to a teacher to help get it available. Worst part of Pinnacle - parking- only enough for seniors and small lottery for juniors.

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 .

It has been great. The teachers are good and great school spirit and opportunities to get involved. I do wish there were more AP classes and academic oppportunities though. They do have some but not as much as some other places.

As a recent graduate from Pinnacle I feel like this school has a lot to improve on. Most importantly, Pinnacle has one of the worst athletics programs. I say this as a student athlete. 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...
