It has amazing academics, and the music classes are wonderful. The teachers connect with the students very well and have fun projects for them. The administative in very responsive n requests. The guidance counselors help every child, and never tell a soul. The school custodians do a very good job with keeping the school clean. The food is good (for a school) and, everything that needs to be sanitary, is sanitary. The school links into Kennesaw Mtn. High, one of the best schools in the country. Hayes elementary flows into Pine Mountain as well, a very pretty school. I very strongly recommend your child going to Pine Mountain Middle School.
