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.

It's a small but great school. The teachers try their best to prepare you for college and sports is a big part of the school.

Pitkin High School is located in a small town in Pitkin, Louisiana. It isn't actually a "high school," but a connected school. There are only a little over 500 students, but even that is a rough estimate. It isn't very diverse, but I have never experienced any problems with bullying and it isn't often that anything about bullying is heard. Being a small school, it makes it easier for the teachers to have one on one time with you if you need help. Overall, it Pitkin High School isn't a bad experience for a high school. Except the food, but I have always brought a lunch so it is easy to bypass that problem.

Pitkin High School is a k-12 school, so you are able to go to school with all your friends in the area. But there is not diversity in the student or teacher population. And the teachers and administration are very biased toward athletes and the faculty are willing to give multiple chances for athletes that are not given to other students. The teachers also do not like it when students or parents argue with them, even when the teacher is wrong.
