Pinnacle High School

Truly terrible. I genuinely wanted to drop out or change schools.

I attend this school and so far it's been a terrible experience. Ms. Brelo, Dr. Lanese and the others in administration don't care about their students. The only thing they care about is making sure they don't get sued. There have been a few situations where they have said point blank that we need to shut up about problems at school. They are supposed to be unbiased about situations at the school yet they constantly choose sides when it comes to confrontations between students. The smoking/vaping problem seems never-ending. I have just been walking to class before and stepped on at least 3 empty juul pods within that passing period. They are unprofessional and unethical someone needs to replace them.

As a parent of a student who graduated from Pinnacle I can honestly say my child was treated fairly in a positive learning environment. My child was accepted to all three in state school and recieved all the encouragement and recognition she needed to excel. She participated in sports as well as the AP classes as did her circle of friends. The negative reviews on here I feel are from parent who expect the high school to raise their kids.

I don't agree with Pinnacle's relatively high scoring. I find the school to be below what should be expected even for an Arizona school.Classes are overcrowded, only some teachers are committed and the leadership leaves A LOT to be desired. The leadership is not there for the students.
