I am very dissapointed in Pinkerton - I had much higher expectations for this school and regret my child attended there. My child's teachers and the support staff treated him as though he could not be a successful student because his reading abilities were low. This resulted in my child feeling so
... Read more incredibly poor about himself. It took a lot of work at home and work with his current teacher to rebuild his self-esteem. I got the impression that the teachers and staff at Pinkerton expected all students to develop at the same rate and any deviation meant your child could not be successful. The previous reviewer stated that the office staff is rude - I'd have to agree. The only place I would differ is that I felt the AP was always very friendly - she was one of the few friendly people there. Read less

A wonderful school for all types of students. Staff is dedicated to children and make learning- a lot of fun. My children have been at this school since they were both in Kindergarten. I always feel like the staff is extended family. They really care about each individual child and their learning style.
... Read more Case in point- I have an ADD child who I do not want to medicate with stimulants. The teacher was supportive of this decision and said she would do anything feasible to assist my child with learning. Most teacher's would have insisted on medication asap. Great Principal and staff.

I have had three students go through Pinkerton Elementary, and each one has had a totally positive experience. My children received outstanding instruction and had teachers who considered the educational experience to be a partnership between the teacher, school, and parents. The principal is very accessible
... Read more to parents and genuinely has the best interests of each child as her highest priority. When we first visited Pinkerton, we were extremely impressed because the learning environment was so positive with the students' work decorating every available wall space, and there was a strong sense of community which is rare in schools today. Any time there was a concern, we found the teachers to be available and willing to work with us to help our child. We've been in four different school districts, so I feel we have the experience to discern strengths and weaknesses, and Pinkerton is by far superior to the rest! Read less

Excellent school! Every child is considered important and is encouraged to succeed regardless of where they are academically. Parent involvement is welcomed and involved parents are highly visible. Class ratios are low and these students tend to be the best achievers at the middle school level. Would

The Coppell ISD is about teaching and testing, but first and foremost, it is about putting the needs of every child first. Every student is considered special and is given equal opportunity to be successful. Student/teacher ratios are low and parent participation high. Since education is a team effort

This is a good school about teaching and testing and teaching and testing. But, it is at the price of your childs emotional well being. Heaven forbid your child does not do well enough academically, he'll/she'll have to have study hall during the only recess of the day. This will happen over and over
... Read more again until your child pulls up his or her marks. Your child will have to sit during study hall unattended most of the time and made to think how stupid or bad they are, even though they are one of the best behaved children in their class and their marks are pretty good. The older teachers run this school, not the Principal. This school was the worst experience we ever had at a school. I don't reccomend it, unless you have a child that is consistently an honor roll student. Read less
