I really love Pickens County High school at this school I can really say that you will be treated like family. Although, you may have some ups and downs this school will really pick you up in ways you can't explain. At this school you will learn to be a fighter that no matter how small you is you can accomplish anything. Some improvements to the equipment of the school would be nice but, stuff like that humbles you. So I will say overall Pickens County Highschool is a nice school.

At Pickens County High School, everyone was a big family. The staff and the students connected well for the most part and it is a nice environment to be in. However, I feel like there should be more emphasis on academics. Pickens County High is a great school to hand when you do ts .

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.

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