Pinecrest is an overall great school. Despite the school being small- it thrives, using the small class sizes to its advantage. The teachers are well versed in multiple subjects and are able to give a broader, more integrated learning style because of this. The teachers also gain the advantage of knowing your child very well because it is such a small school, but also because it goes from Pre-K to 8th. Kids are able to adjust easily when moving in from other places. The classroom focuses on more than just academics, but strong characteristics that make children succeed in life.

WOHS uses a ridiculous block schedule. In theory, the teachers should be teaching two lessons per day because the students see their teacher every other day. In reality, some teachers only teach a lesson if that and the students play on their phones or do whatever for the rest of the time. It’s sad that our children can’t get the education they deserve. If you visit the school and walk the hallways, you will see several kids sleeping and not doing anything. Someone needs to make some changes. And they wonder why their scores were lower. It didn’t have anything to do with COVID! It’s the teachers not doing their jobs!! Sincerely, Concerned Parent
