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 have gone to Pinecrest for the entirety of my high school career and it is wonderful. Along with its involvement with Sandhills Community College, I definitely feel prepared for college. The atmosphere is very nice and the push for involvement in sports and clubs is very high.

Our school always have fights, stabbing, threat to school shooting. Some of the teachers are respectful and do their job to help some students, others not so much. Bus transportation isn't good, fights take place in them and half the time some of the buses are barley running.

My time at Pinecrest has been mostly positive and has helped me learn quite a bit. I've yet to have a bad teacher and the majority of teachers were great and showed passion in their work. The administrators seem very involved, school events are common and well put together. The only negatives I can personally speak on are the lackluster sanitation, and semi-frequent student altercations.

I thoroughly enjoyed Pinecrest. It is a bit run down but there is a sense of school pride and I participated in sports. I also got the opportunity to take 10 AP classes at Pinecrest which gave me college credit.
