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'm just sure it's the school safety in general. And the food it only has like three good meals. There's a ton of fights in the span of on month. The kids are kinda annoying. They vape and smoke a lot. Everywhere smells like weed. The education seems behind.

Lackluster school with an awful student environment chock-full of violence and tension. Faculty is a very dedicated and committed group with frail attempts by administration to support them. Parent involvement goes as far as a parent teacher conference, with the exceptions of booster clubs which are almost empty. Overall, a bad school but somehow not the worst in Escambia County, FL.

Pine Forest has it's ups and downs but mostly downs because of their students. The students here at Pine Forest have little to no manners, no respect, and no decency for their fellow class mates. The amount of fights at Pine Forest should have the school under new management or shutdown but it also has its good moments with the sports and extra curricular activities for example art, NJROTC, Photography, Yearbook, and Culinary to keep the kids active in things and the school fun.

This school was really a car crash. The teachers complained about it personally, and half of my teachers literally did nothing the whole year. there was no ambition because the coursework was unevenly distributed. I had whole periods where the teacher was given a course they didnt really care about...

I attended Pine Forest for my senior because I was transfer student from another states, I try have high hope and high expectation when I went to this school, but sadly and unfortunately I was very wrong about my expectation and the standard here at Pine Forest, is not really that good. In the class...

Over all this school has gotten very strict and they cant even control the kids. Theres a fight almost every week and you cant even walk outside to eat lunch. If possible i would rate 0/5 stars or even negative stars! I was on my phone trying to tell my parents we might have another code yellow lock...
