Apparently if your child is in the top of his class in Marion school district one, PDA must have given him a pretty good foundation. My children attend PDA and have since K4, they are in the 3rd and 6th grades now. I personally attended public and private schools and benefitted from the smaller classes that private schools offer. Another important aspect is that they have not taken God or Jesus out of the school, which has been a major downfall in our public school system.
My child goes to public school in Marion School district one and is ranked in the top of his class great SAT scores and is doing great. He is in 10th grade now, when he attended PDA he was was not treated like the other students. MSD1 has a great public education program!!!
I have been professionally and personally associated with PDA as well as public schools in Marion and Horry Counties since 1963. PDA stands out in quality of education, focused students, faculty, administration, and families. Parents are very supportive, involved, and are heard by the board and administration. The focus is on academics, a sound, safe, moral environment with concerns set on developing the 'whole student'. This includes sports, academics, leadership, christianity, social, and moral development. It truly is the best valued education available with the cost being minimal as compared to the money spent in public education. Public schools are quick to implement 'new' unproved and experimental practices and curriculum whereas PDA still produces academic excellence with tried and true practices and concepts with successful graduates going into a variety of colleges and professions. Parents are willing to pay taxes and also tuition to provide the best education for their children.
I agree Pee Dee Academy is probably the best place for education in Marion County, but the extra-curricular activities & elective classes could use some improvement. Along with air-conditioning in the gym & the main highschool bathrooms...& maybe the locker rooms. but other than that Pee Dee is a great place to go to school & the teachers are wonderful! :)
