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.

Pickens County High School might not be a rich school. This school has been put into a bad light because of the schools around it. PCHS has helped numerous students to get back to their life. It is a small school so everyone feels like a family even though they might not know each other. Everyone has the same opportunities and students who don't want it are encouraged by other students to take that opportunity.

Pickens County High School Not Only Provides Education on Subjects, But Also provides and Improves Social Skills, Learning to Take Responsibility, and Others Skills.PCHS also Prepares You For Your Future, Not Only the Job You Will Have, but Also Connecting With Others, and Learning to Have Independence.

Pchs wasn't my greatest experience in high school. The memories I had there were good and bad. I wish Pchs had more opportunities.

Terrible school. Has been on the verge of shutting down due to its low GPA and ACTs.
