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 here in my freshman year which made me really nervous about coming to a new school in the middle of my first year of high school. I thought I wouldn't make any friends and the teachers would be mean but here it's the complete opposite of that. PCHS has made me feel like I belong here. I've made more friends here in just a year than I did at my last school. I am proud to be apart of the PCSH family.

This school was one of the greatest high schools in Georgia. Great staff, many great student organizations, and a great atmosphere. Now, It is truly on a slippery slope. An out of touch board of education, coupled with a scheming dictator for a principal, has degraded all that used to make this scho...

Although academics is somewhat par at best the administrative staff mainly principal are out of contrrol. Mr. Lollis has taken on the role of a dictator. He came from one of the best school systems in GA where he nearly single handedly destroyed it and now he is well on his way here. He must go ASAP...
