I cannot say enough about Pineville Elementary. The teachers/staff, PTA and community as a whole is a fantastic place for our children to learn and grow. We have a rising 4th grader who has been here since Kindergarten. We also have a 4 year old who will soon be a Smiler. The Smiler community feels like a family. The teachers and staff truly care about my student and go above and beyond to make learning exciting for him!

I went to quail hollow middle all 3 years and can confidently say it's the worst middle school in Charlotte by a long-shot. Fights are nearly every hour, no teacher likes teaching and staff is shifted so much you can't keep a good teacher student relationship. I transferred to a private high school because of how horrible the following was: Teaching, Social engagement, Academic progress, bomb + shooter threats weekly + drug paraphernalia selling. I know multiple people who would dodge school so they don't have a chance of dying on campus. Please don't send your kid here, this will make them depressed and overall a sad person overall.

At first I thought good fit for my kid but quickly realized differently. My kid told me about the officer at the school and him letting a little girl get away with having a vape then supposedly took a picture with her after. My kid showed proof and I was very disappointed. Another incident was where my kid was grouped with these girls and was accused of being searched before but was never searched. They have dress code violations for only certain people and certain body shapes it seems. I am very disappointed that a new school like this with previous teachers from different schools this is how this school is run. Also, I truly believe that this school focuses more on giving the kids more rules and guidelines to lock them down than to open there horizons, minds, and problem solving skills. My kids won’t be back to this school.
