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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I really enjoyed my time at Pinson Valley. I played softball and volleyball throughout high school and it was nice to see athletes supporting other athletes. Administration helped students as much as they were able to. Since I have graduated I have noticed that the school does seem to be run down more.

I really did enjoy my time at pinson valley highschool I made a bunch of memories there, that I will never forget. I've made so many friends that I still talk to till this very day and I'm so glad I met them there. All the teachers were lovely and really helped me get to where I am now. While some parts of the school is lacking in some places I wouldn't trade my experience there for the world.

The school has a decent foundation of teachers and facilities but some teachers have been around longer then they should've been. They need to find more passionate teachers and have better funding for their academics. The short lived high of the football team was fun and did some good for the school but overall I don't think they are actively improving anything.

It got brushed off as a “crush” despite the fact I couldn’t safely stay home anymore. We also have a lot of fights here, not to...
Hands down the worst school we have ever had the displeasure of having to attend in 20 years of our children in schools all over the United States. In Alabama, they will not let you apply to another school. The demographics are not correct, and the majority of administration in this school is unprof...
