We are military & often run into unsatisfactory schools & uncaring teachers. PES has been great for our daughter & I'm sure will be great for our son when he starts. We have never seen a better school w/ such caring teachers & hard workers.Our daughter has special needs & PES teachers & Staff have gone over & beyond to help us & make our daughters time here & education So much better & a memorable & relaxed learning experience.Our daughter has never been happier & wanting to go school compared to when she would cry & was scared to go at some of the other ones. The extracurricular activities here are great & they encourage & support the children. The principal has been supportive & involved in our daughters education & seems to be in every child's at the school.
I have two kids at the school. We are very happy with it. It is a nice diverse student body. The teachers are excellent. Each classroom (except for 4th and 5th grade) has a teachers assistant that is with the children full time. This makes all the difference in the world! The only downside is that the school is old and in need of repairs. These teachers deserve a much better school building! Some of that is due to the fact that it is a county wide school system with many schools in line for renovations. Also, I think the principal is very fair and caring!
The extracarricular activities at this school are fantastic. The art teacher, music teacher and orchestra teacher really put a lot of extra time and effort into their students. My kids have really enjoyed them. My biggest concern with the school is there is a bullying problem that seems to be pushed under the rug. I've talked to teachers and the principal and they don't seem too concerned. The school counseler did not return phone calls or emails. It seems that it depends on who you are to get any action. My kids used to love going to school, but with the experiences they have had here they now dread going to school. It breaks my heart and I hope that his year will be different.
both of my children have been at PES since 2003 one is going to middle school next year, we have been very happy with the school
