I love it, but I want to see more assistance from the district to help students feel better in their classrooms.

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.

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.

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...
