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.

At Piedmont High School, we are a very techy school, we do most of our learning on our own Macbooks provided by the school. We can learn at our own pace so that we can maximize our learning. The faculty at PHS is also like no other, they create a one on one connection with every student. No only do I learn the best material here, but I also feel safe and connected while being a student at Piedmont. I feel like PHS has prepared me for college in a way that most public high schools do not. For this, I am very thankful I had the opportunity to go to highschool at Piedmont.

I loved attending Piedmont High School. My children are now students there and there is even more offered than when I was in school. The arts programs are amazing and the educational record is outstanding.

There a lot of likes and dislikes to Piedmont. Overall the crime rate is low and the teachers and professors can be really hands-on. If your child is driven, Piedmont can provide a great foundation for your child. They offer many AP classes to ensure that the student has an equal opportunity if they choose English or Science.
