Pineville High School has good teachers who are willing to work with students until they fully understand the material. The faculty is supportive, and the school is generally clean. However, when it comes to the upstairs bathrooms, soap availability can be hit or miss. Aside from that, it's a great school.

Pineville is an amazing school. The people are extremely nice and helpful. We have so many clubs that help welcome the students, even ones specifically for the freshman to make their switch to High School easier. Pineville has offered me so much and for any student looking to be involved, there is always a place for you at Pineville High School.
