We are sad to be leaving this school as our daughter will be moving up to the Intermediate School. our teachers for 4th grade, Mrs. Page and Mrs. Z were fantastic and fostered learning for their students while challenging each of them.

I find the review about a 1st grader interesting since this school only serves 3rd and 4th graders and has never served 1st graders. My experiences with this school have been excellent. Mrs. Jackson, the principal, is a very dedicated educator who puts the needs of the students first.

My 1st grader was given coloring books and ignored with 4 other boys because he & the others didn't 'click' into reading as fast as the rest of the class. No effort was made by the school to assist this group. Thank God we moved to the MidWest into a school system that is #2 in the nation and my boy

Granted, the MidWest schools have more money then the Alabama schools (taxes) yet if we stayed there, my son would not have received the education he deserved. My older son was turned down for 'speech' in 4th grade since many other children could not be understood. My son had a lisp, yet there was no room for him. Perhaps he spoke well enough for Alabama, but certainly not for the rest of the nation. Parent involvement was frowned upon. Read less

When it was time for my youngest child to enter the Prattville public school system, I'll admit, I was a bit nervous. I had attended private school, my husband attended private school and my oldest daughter had attended private school until this point. However I was needlessly worried. This school system

Now in third grade, my daughter is in the A.C.E. program (a gifted child program), she goes on multiple educational field trips during the year (parents more than welcome), and her teachers have been patient and kind. This year her teacher is Barbara Hollingsworth and my daughter absolutely loves her. The kids respect her and her sense of humor. Maybe the curriculum is a little behind...but no more than any private school in Alabama. The organization and attention of the staff has been a huge relief. Read less

i have just recently moved into the area and based on the testing and looks on paper choose this school system for my child. I am now regreting in many ways our decision, but don't know that there is anything out there better except private schools. Everyone seems to be passing on problems to everyone

However, for those kids who do this extra work there is no reward system. How can you expect kids do do something if they get nothing for it. Transportation system is horrible and completely inadequate, and they claim responsibility to inform parents of bus problems. They say it not their problem or responsibilty. That's the policy. I say when policy is junk, fix it. Read less

This my daughter's only year at Prattville Elementary, and she absolutely loved it. We went and said 'goodbye' today. Great communication from the front office and the teachers. The choir was an especially great experience. Will miss Prattville Elementary!

My son is currently in third grade at PES and loving it! His teacher, Karen Cooper, is exceptional and cares a great deal for the students. She has made learning fun and challenges my son. Reading is a big focus at this school. Parents are encouraged to help in the classroom as well as on the APT. The

Mrs. Hughes, the gifted teacher, does an extraordinary job delivering a quality program with classroom funds of approx. $350 for 98 students. More money needs to be raised to expand the gifted program. The principal, Mr. Abraham, is a good leader and the students like him. Mr. Hunt the music teacher is great. I would recommend this school to anyone moving to Prattville. Read less
