GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Though my school was small, there were many friendships made on my behalf. The education system was of good quality, and the teachers taught to the best of their abilities. The school itself is situated so that at every angle, you are able to take in the beauty of the North Georgia mountains. If I had to do it all over again, I still would have picked Pickens High School.

The food is fair, not exceptional. I love the salad bar.

One of the best schools- if not the absolute best- I have ever been associated with in my career. The staff and the students are wonderful. Pickens offers huge benefits in a small rural hometown setting.
