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.

I love PCA. The experience, environment, and feel of the school are much better than what I experienced at other public schools in my area. I enjoy going there and hope to be a good influence on the other kids that go there also. The way that the school operates and functions is very smooth and very beneficial to the children and there experience in school. It has a small-town feel with the education quality of a private school but you don't have to pay tuition.

As a student at Pinnacle, I can say for certain that the education I'm receiving is top tier. The majority of teachers and staff truly care for their students, and strive to make sure we are the best we can be.

My children have flourished here and they love it. The students are challenged to set goals and do their best daily. The teachers and administration are supportive and they they bring out the best in every student. The kids here work very hard, no doubt, but they are better for it.
