Hello i would like to share about my experience with this school(from last year n this semester). To start off The teachers are meh, some are good some don't really do there job. SOME Students are rude, fighting, unnecessary beef, and using vapes ( rare). This school doesn't care about education and safety for other students sadly. And if your class was misbehaving they wouldn't even do anything to stop it misbehaving! If you want a good school for your child then please don't choose this one! There's way more better opinion anyways lol

Our previous elementary school was rated 9/10. The classes were similar in size (approx. 20-21 kids per class), the campus only a few years old. Many kids left kindergarten unable to read, little emphasis on Phonics, there was some fun science and social studies but no phys ed and teachers had to rotate grades periodically. It was not a great experience. Peavine might have a lower overall rating (for now) and the campus is older, but it is well maintained and the staff is phenomenal. From the support staff who know each of the kds and make everyone feel so welcome, to the principal who is a visible, accessible presence, the active & fun PTA, to the outstanding teachers, Peavine is top notch. The curriculum is challenging yet fun, the teachers creative, resources available for all children. The teachers are open to a collaboration with parents and the kids are thriving. Kids get frequent smaller breaks as opposed to one longer lunch (this has been proven more effective for managing behaviors and retaining learned materials). The students alternate PE, computer lab, and music class. The school puts their money where their mouth is: I witnessed a child being harassed by a bigger kid - the school intervened at once and ensured the problem was resolved immediately and permanently. We are so very pleased we took a leap of faith and came to Peavine. Our kids are enjoying school and we are quite pleased with the quality of education they're receiving.

Terrible administration, ridiculous approach to scheduling any testing, teachers are overworked, overwhelmed, and undependable.
