I am a long time parent of this school. I have seen many families come and go. Several core families stay because of the religious connection. I would check the retention rate and also investigate the Jr High very closely. At one time the elementary was strong, however it lacks academdic continuity from
... Read more grade to grade which only gets worse in Jr. High. There is a definite community feel and family environment. This is both a positive and a negative. Good if you want to know your child's teachers - bad if you expect change, open minds and no powerful cliques. Be clear about what you need as a family when chosing this school. In order to be a satisfied parent at POP you must be relationship driven and somewhat lesser concerned about strong consistant discipline, straight anwers and follow through Do not choose based on academics alone.

My older daughter just graduated from Prince of Peace (attending from K-8). The experiences she had a Prince of Peace - Portland LEST and the Lodi Basketball tournament, playing handbells, and school field trips were wonderful. The closeness of friends, the ability to talk to her teachers, and a Principal

Academically she did very well throughout her time at Prince of Peace. She tested at a Junior level in High School in all of her subjects on the recent testing. If you are looking for a collaborative environment where teachers, parents, and children work together, Prince of Peace is the place you should send your child. Read less

My son has been at Prince of Peace for 6 yrs. Here's my honest opinion. The small, family oriented atmosphere is a far better place for your child than a HUGE, public K-6th. Out of 800 kids at the local public school, a few are going to be 'bad apples'. Yes...POP shelters children, but I would rather

The academic program is better than average (I don't need a stressed out 'Challenger' child on my hands anyway) and the morals taught at POP are an added benefit. Read less

We came to Prince of Peace because we heard the kindergarten teacher was wonderful...well she was the only one. We found the other teachers to be of poor quality, and the administration, indifferent to parent concerns. There is a required parent involvement, so parents have to fulfill service hours,

There is a constant demand on parents to fund raise - a constant awareness of the schools lack of money and poor budgetary planning, and the classroom and teacher quality suffers because of it. The small school atmosphere is only nice if you are looking to socialize with other parents..if you want a quality education, look elsewhere. Read less

Prince of Peace school is a gem. The school is very small, but the kids get exposure to art, music (band, handbells) and sports (volleball, basketball, and track) as well as a great technology program in a warm, Christian environment. Parents are required to participate, but many participate much
