The primary center is a fantastic learning environment all around. I am pleased with the teachers and staff. The only thing I would change is the communication about activities and current events going on in school on a daily basis.

My child has been going to Pittston Area since he started kindergarten and Is now in 9th grade. I’ve never felt like I was informed or part of his education. In all these years, only 1 teacher has reached out to me with a concern/feedback about my child. In elementary school there might be a comment or two on appropriate report card, but there is absolutely no feedback from any teacher, good or bad. As for the quality of education, I would honestly say it is quite poor. I do not feel my child is where they should be education wise, and will not be prepared in the future for college, career and have the correct social skills and etiquette to navigate as an adult. I know a good deal of the type of person my child becomes is the responsibility of my husband and I, but I feel a larger majority of behavior and attitude is learned through the environment at school through peers and teachers alike. Especially as a freshman in high school where there are so many pressures.

My experience is ok. We do get loaded with work for no reason. But the school does plan fun things.

First and foremost there is more like 30 children to a classroom not 20. My daughter attended 3rd grade here and we couldn't get her out fast enough! We finished the year but not without having 2 different teachers before the first quarter ended. Luckily she is a straight A student because if she required any extra help, she wouldn't have got it. The administration is horrible and unless you are "politically connected' you will be very disappointed! Unfortunately, they will continue to get my tax dollars, but I am grateful we had another alternative in private school.
