Open Quote Pine Richland is one of the worst schools a student can be subjected to. The staff are almost all rigid unsympathetic lunatics. They care about social status above all else. It is ingrained into the minds of the students that Football is king and nothing else matters. It is a horrible experience and should be addressed my the school. Close Quote

Open Quote Unless you have alot of money to "keep up with the Jone's" in this school district, your child will be subject to constant "bullying" by students, teachers and administrators. The "Rich" parents control this school. My child went through "H***" and so did I as a parent throughout the whole high school experience. The school has had 3 suicides in the last 3 years and basically covered them up so as to not ruine their reputation. My child was on the "watch" list as a danger to himself or others and simply stopped trying. I should've taken my child out but I was listening to the "Professionals" and went along with the whole process. Extremely intelligent strait "A" kid graduated with a 1.9% GPA. Sad.. Signed: Very proud parent of a child serving his country in the U.S. Military!!!!! Close Quote
