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.

At Piedmont High School, we are a very techy school, we do most of our learning on our own Macbooks provided by the school. We can learn at our own pace so that we can maximize our learning. The faculty at PHS is also like no other, they create a one on one connection with every student. No only do I learn the best material here, but I also feel safe and connected while being a student at Piedmont. I feel like PHS has prepared me for college in a way that most public high schools do not. For this, I am very thankful I had the opportunity to go to highschool at Piedmont.

I have loved my time at Piedmont. All the teachers are there to help you improve in any way possible and the coaching staff for all sports work together to make everyone better. I have no complaints about Piedmont and would not want to graduate from anywhere else.

I would choose piedmont high school all over again if I had to. The experiences there are so amazing. Our football games mean everything to our little town. Most parents attend all school meetings along with the students. They also attend academic meetings. Our school is very unique with our senior year. We do this thing called the Piedmont Promise Project (3P). You do 35 things before the end of the year which will help you in future events.
