The Pinnacle Charter School

"I have been attending the pinnacle since kindergarten (I'm in 10th grade now).The teachers and staff are the best, especially at the high school. It is a great school that has decant food. As well as amazing and fun elective classes. It is amazing to be a student at this school, as to have grown and improved along with it."

"If I could give my school a half star I would. It is summer time and this coming school year (8th) is my last year, thank goodness. This school is terrible. I would never recomened this school for anyone. This used to be a "good"school now it has gone completely terrible. If the school cared about their students education as much as they do about dress code maybe this school would stay open for more than 2 years. The food here is terrible. In 5th grade or maybe before it went downhill. The grilled cheese is terrible. 5th grade we got the cheese made it into a ball and it bounced on the table. Sometimes the food we eat doesn't even look like food. The only thing that is good is the music program,health class, and The 7th and 6th grade LA teachers. The teachers don't care about their students. My class of 2021 has been told by a teacher that she hates us. Teachers here have favorites. The honors classes at our school would be regular classes at any other school. The dress code is completely ridiculous. A 60% is basically considered passing here. And the punishments are ridiculous. students practically can get away with anything. Even the gym classes is just plain, excuse me but, stupid. I warn you the last time listen to this from a student. Do not put your child into this school if you want them to be successful. If any students are reading this in class of 2021 you know this is true. You might know me. I am the only 7th grade flute player and soon to be the only 8th grade flute player. I'm that girl who speaks her mind but is also very quiet. If you made it all the way to my end thank you for listening to the truth, a student who isn't one of the favorites or "smart students" please consider what i say. And I wish you a good day. -S.M.,jacs, class of 2021"

"This school has many teachers that are dedicated to their job. All the staff are helpful, and most of them are polite, and have proper etiquette when confronting students. The lunches are a bit average, but they have a free or reduced lunch program aimed towards low-income families that are in need. Every year, they host "Fun Fest", which is a school event in where many teachers can set up games in classrooms to entertain students and parents. Yearly TCAP and PARCC testing occurs in early spring, and teachers are very helpful providing advice to their students about eating breakfast and getting enough sleep. The school is worth it for your education, and helps bond teachers with students."

"They are on top of safety. They are so much better than my daughters' neighborhood school! What a relief. My daughter is gifted, and she is challenged more at Pinnacle, compared to the Public school she went to. I think it also depends on what teacher my children get. I'm not so worried about their education here."

"This school is not the best but it is not the worst by far in this area. I have 2 children that attend this school and have had good and bad experiances with it. I enjoy that my children are learning many languages one of which is sign language which many schools do not offer and is almost forgotten about as a great skill and communication effort. Just as any school there are fights with older kids and there are budget cuts everywhere, but all in all this school has been a good experiance for my children, they also have a wonderful before and after school care center with great staff. The Cubs Den is a much better experiance than the school itself but they are working to make it all around a better place."
