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 think Pinkston is very capable of achieving a lot but one thing I think brings Pinkston down is the participation. there's not a lot of school spirit nor do students have to want to do things outside of the comfort zone like trying new sports or joining clubs. I think if Pinkston made their students feel safer in their environment with no a judgement things could get done.

This year was my last year at L. G. Pinkston High School and it was honestly the best. I'm glad I went here and I'm glad I was able to accomplish my studies and finish this wonderful chapter of my life. It was was pretty tough finishing but I was able to do so thanks to my parents and my teachers. They've all helped me get through every difficulty I had and attended me well. There were so many different clubs and activities but I'd say my favorite was Choir. The choir director had such an impact on my life and greatly helped me learn to be confident in myself and what I do. I can definitely say that L. G. Pinkston was a great school.

I like my school, but I wish there was more attention when starting the year. Every beginning of the year we spend days and days waiting for them to give us our schedules and there are always mistakes, which makes us lose many days.
