Overall the school isn't as good as let's say a 6A school but it is a good school. personally i would never let my kids go there. its a very favorited child type of school. if you parents are rich or extremely powerful you will not be favored.

I love Picayune Memorial High School!! I have many great memories with so many amazing faculty, staff, and fellow piers. It is a very supporting, motivating, and safe learning environment.

There is not much college readiness, and the counselors do not try to help with questions or concerns at all. They will give you vague answers or ignore your questions.

I am a student currently enrolled in PMHS. It is my first year at the school and hopefully my last. My first year at this highschool has been the worst experience of my life. The teachers do not teach students what we need to learn but what we need to pass the state test. The school board cares more...

And in most of the class they are teaching the students what is needed to pass the state tests and not what is needed for life and college. Most of the teachers don't do their jobs correctly and the kids get out of contr...

I attended PMHS from 2000-2004, and although I had a socially stimulating high school experience, Picayune did not prepare me in the least for college or life. In all of my high school years, I never was taught how to write an opinionated, researched essay. In my senior advanced placement English cl...
