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.

Very family oriented staff. Very big on sports with a lot of parent involvement. My guidance counselor was like a 2nd mother to me.

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.
