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 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
... Read more 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. Read less

The teachers in Pinehurst Elementary are very uncaring. The new principal does not listen to parents complaints about problem teachers. A teacher there refers to some of the children who do not finish their homework as 'slackers'. They are not willing to put forth the effort to help children who struggle

This is my son's second year here at PES and I feel that he couldn't be getting a better foundation for his academics! His teachers have been extremely approachable and given helpful feedback. The only drawback I've encountered is a separate gymnasium and music building (because of the age of the school

I love the sense of community I've received here and would highly recommend this school for others who want a solid foundation for their child. A little lacking in the technological area (ie. internet usage for parents to check on progress, etc) but overall WONDERFUL! Read less

I am becoming more disenchanted with the school system and primarily pinehurst elementary. The teachers teach for the 'end of year test' and have no creativity. The administration is waiting to retire and doesn t want to ruffle any feathers before it is time. I would think that the school would be

I find it disturbing with today s technical advances that you can not find one website that shows the schools honor roll. This is what the teachers and the administration strives for am i wrong? Maybe i am suggesting something that you have never thought of? If so please don t give me credit just do it! Read less
