5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot a very good school. The student experience is overwhelmingly boring, and many teachers are awful. There are a few great, caring teachers, but they are entirely overshadowed by the bad ones. The school has almost no electives that aren't art classes, and they are taught by teachers who don't care.Student Review5y ago - Pine Island Elementary School
