The kids always seem to be out of place whenever I come to the school and hanging out. My niece walked right out the front door during dismissal with no problem.

As a staff member, my experience with this school has gotten progressively better! The teachers and staff are very friendly and supportive. Whenever I have need help with getting information I am able to connect with the right people and get my matter resolved. I appreciate the leadership of the principal "Dr. G" and the huge task she has with keeping the staff, teachers, and students safe. She is truly "changing the narrative" and is very strict when it comes to not allowing students that are not doing what they are supposed to do stay and cause problems at the school. She is quick to identify issues and move them out when necessary. I really appreciate that! Also the STEAM Academy of Advanced Academics is a great addition to the school and will definitely bring in more bright students and families. I am excited for the future of this school! My kids will be coming here next year! Go Brook!!!

As an involved community member, I have the privilege of volunteering and working directly with school staff, administrators and the principal on a regular basis. I find the team of educators at Pebblebrook to be extremely helpful and very attentive to student needs and concerns. Students display a high level of respect in school settings and equally as well in public setting when volunteering in community service projects. Over the past couple of years, I seen an increase in graduation rates, that now puts Pebblebrook on par with all of the other high schools in Cobb County, and PHS graduation rates are higher than the metro area. This is a great school for students to learn leadership qualities, experience a broad range of career options and receive the necessary academic preparation needed for success in post high school careers and college.

This school is absoutely atrocious. I'm even bringing out the fancy words just to show how tragic this school is. We literally had a gun scare AND THEY DIDNT EVEN PUT THE SCHOOL ON LOCK DOWN!!!! PLEASE DON'T SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IF YOU CARE FOR THEIR SANITY! IF YOUR CHILD ALREADY GOES THERE RUN FAR FAR FAR AWAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK. SAVE YOUR LIVES AND YOUR MONEY!!

I would rate this school with a 9/10 schools, because is a positive and hardworking community. Another thing the PA program is amazing and we have that here, where no where else you could take those classes for free.

This school is very poor, have horrible teachers, most are nice but the rest are rude and can not teach to save their life's, some complain about being a teacher even though they chose to be on, the food is nasty and unhealthy, the students doesn't have any help when they don't have any clue what's going on, and the classes an hallways are very dirty, infested with roaches and the school don't have "any time" to call an exterminator. Never send your child here if you care for them

It is sad this school is even still running! I am glad to say we won't have to deal with Jerica Creswell or any of their other rude teachers or staff! This is NOT a place to send your children unless you want them to be surrounded by unprofessional, rude and sadly IGNORANT people. The staff is even rude to each other and Parents! It seems they forget this is what they are PAID to do and seem to think they are doing this on THEIR time. I hope you never have to deal with Jerica Creswell, She will certainly show you how "LOW" Pebblebrook has sank. Not to mention she is ridiculously rude to the students and seems to think she don't have time to "DEAL" with them. Pathetic school with pathetic staff-save your children's future and send them somewhere else, it is worth the extra gas and time!

As a parent, I have always been concerned about my daughters education and the enviroment on which she is learning because that makes a massive difference. We as parents need to be involved with our school system. At first glance this school was presented as a great school with amazing teachers and enviroment, however this is far from the case. The director over the PA program Mr. Timmerman is rude and very unapproachable with a poor attitude. The teachers some ok, some not. My daughter went for tutoring for math for several weeks. The math teacher would make it seem as though she was eager to help while i was present, but according to my daughter and her grade in this class, the teacher would get frustrated and say, why don't you understand! Her class was given a math project with vague directions and when my daughter went one morning for help, the teacher became frustrated. I explained to her that we both looked on youtube and could not find certain directions on the project and I said furthermore, how do you give a student a project and tell them to look on youtube for directions? The students all seem to angry instead of inspired. This i not a great school in any way.

If you are NOT a performing arts Student. Pebblebrook is NOT the school for you. The moral is low and the student are not motivated. The Principal really not sure what's going on in her school she is just there however the Vice Principal is alot of help. The people in both offices are not cooperative at All. Coming for another state and going into Pebblebrook is a wake-up call if you don't have money this is not the school for you. The enrollment process is a joke. They want to keep the child out of school for a hole week for what. Made a call to Linda Davis and she told me that the best we can do with cuts the. What place you know didn't have cuts these days. I can't tell my customer that line I for sure will be out of a job.

I am a performing arts student here at pebblebrook, and I have to say that the Performing Arts teachers and the honors and AP teachers know what they are doing. I don't know so much about the on-level teachers, as I have none, but the people who say it's a bad school clearly just need to reassess what they want in a school. The Performing Arts program motivates you to maintain a high grade point average so that you can stay in the program. There was only one fight this year, so it's really mellow. This is a great program, and If you are going to be a freshman next year like I am now, I would definitely consider this school along with the other magnet programs.
