    Peachtree Ridge High School Reviews

    I love the culture at Peachtree Ridge High School. It is extremely diversified compared to other schools in the county, and there is a niche for every student. Our AP teachers prepare us well for exams, as well as honors teachers. With block scheduling, we receive extra class time that others schools don't. Thus, we are better prepared for exams. Furthermore, block scheduling allows students to focus only on four classes at a time, as opposed to seven or eight.

    I feel extremely safe at Peachtree Ridge; the doors are locked at all times. Although our sports and food could be improved, I'm grateful that safety is always our administrators' first priority.

    Although I'm interested in the English pathway, Peachtree Ridge offers an excellent STEM pathway, which features engineering. I am honored be a student at such an innovative school.

    I really enjoy being in a High School with such diversity! The only issue is the school spirit but that depends on the students not exactly the school itself. One of my favorite things is the block schedule we work with because it allows me to take more classes per school year, such as language levels and any other subjects.
    This is a great school to attend! Peachtree is very uniquely designed school. This is one of the only schools to be on block schedule, this is important because it prepares you for college. Also, the school is very diverse, you can meet students from all over the world and learn a lot from them. The teachers at this school work extremely hard for students to become successful, they allow after school help, during lunch, during their planning period and before school help for all students.
