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.

I moved to Peachtree Ridge in my sophomore year, and though I was sad to be moving, I learned to love the Lions. I have had some of the best teachers that I can really talk to, who are incredibly passionate about what they are teaching.

When I first entered Peachtree Ridge, I was just as enthusiastic as any freshman could be. What I did not expect though, was how hostile students can towards each other. Drama is inevitable, but I feel as more measures can be taken to prevent it. Overall, the school atmosphere is alright.

Peachtree Ridge High School has been a great school for student who want to excel in both/either arts as well as academics. The teachers, especially AP teachers, sufficiently prepare you for exams and harder work you'll have to submit in college. Their arts programs are also well and they match the difficulty of the art to its students.

My daughter is an AP honors student. She will be starting her Sophomore year. PRHS is EXCELLENT. Her classes are challenging, however, he teachers are always willing to go the extra mile for the students. It's a very clean, calm atmosphere.
