The new Prices Fork Elementary is very well-regarded and now innovatively serves a highly diverse and thriving student body. Several children in our neighborhood who attended Prices Fork recently completed high school just down the road and received scholarships to top-ranked universities. Prices Fork develops bright, well-rounded, caring children who are well-prepared for middle school and beyond. While many kids at PFE come from middle- and high-SES backgrounds, with parents who are very involved in their education, a large portion of the student body comes from underserved areas and receives subsidized lunches. Some struggle academically, which lowers average achievement test scores and rankings on sites like GreatSchools.org, despite a large number of students performing in the outstanding range. But being in a caring, enriched environment helps the struggling students learn over time how to achieve at their potential, and helps create a school environment where diversity, achievement, and appreciation of individual differences in ability and circumstances are better understood and appreciated.
