I have been at Pinnacle since 2012 when the school first started. I have had an overall good experience as the school has continued to grow. I would love for Pinnacle to have a better sports program as I have had a wonderful time playing for multiple sports teams here. They are currently renovating the gym so I hope that will provide a better experience in the athletics department. Over all I have been able to have fun while attending Pinnacle Classical Academy.

PCA claims to be a college preparatory school and they live up to it. As an attending high school student, I'm offered dual enrollment with a nearby community college, allowing me to complete my associate's degree by the time I graduate high school.

I really like that Pinnacle has a strong academic curriculum, and that it does a good job at keeping an academically focused atmosphere.

Homework is graded for completion, and if the children are behind academically they will assign “projects” to increase their grades while failing to actually teach the children the material. They are more concerned with making sure the grades are good, rathe...
