Pine Grove

Posted October 2, 2008

Getting a quality teacher here is very hit or miss and varies year to year. higher grades tend to have the better teachers. Lots of turnover not just last year but in the past few years show that something is up with administration and management, which have a bad reputation in the community. New principal is working on that but how much can one man do? This school needs SO MUCH HELP, both with its academic expectations of students which are low but also with its community outreach which is elitist at best. Save your child the nonsense and find a better nearby school, it wont be hard to do.

The reason for the turnover this year is due to the retirement of teachers that have been at Pine Grove for over twenty years! And it's not a problem at all because the administration only hires the cream of the crop to replace the retiring teachers. The talent of the teachers at Pine Grove is amazing and it only gets better as more young teachers are hired to challenge each and every child to do the best he or she is capable of doing.

Good school, very involved principal. Vice Principal is a problem, not consistent with all children. Too bad so many good teachers are leaving this year. Why is that? With that number of departures, there's a problem there. How stable can it be for the kids with so much turnover?

PGS is a perfect school for my son. He has loved every year and fourished academically and socially. My daughter is struggling to find a teacher who can challenge her. She does well acedemically but is bored by the curriculum. There is little attempt at gearing activities and classwork to the above average student.
