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.

The best part of school was seeing my friends and a few handful of impactful teachers. I'd like them to include parents in information emails about what's going on at school instead of counting on the student to relay the message.

I love Piedmont High School but just like any school, it's not perfect. I have had issues with people at school and school sports aren't always top notch. However, the teachers come in every day excited to teach and learn from students. Piedmont has challenged me and given me everything I could think of needing.

Absolutely not it at all. The administration was the main issue, the counselors were manipulative and un help full. The students are 75% racist and homophobic but they’re are a few good people. Most of the teachers are terrible but again a few good ones. This School Is honestly a solid 2/10
