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.

Piedmont Community Charter School has very good academics and arts programs. The theater, dance, and chorus programs have competed and won many competitions and earned many awards. The buildings are always kept very clean. The administration truly cares for the students and for their wellbeing. It is a great school.
