Pintlala elementary was a wonderful little secret. It is a great school. The current principal is very belittling to children and parents too. I'm afraid we are going to be looking into private school if she is there next year. I feel she cares more about how much $ the school can raise and how many students it can get for funds. And she doesn't care about the children's well being or education. There are now more students and they need more teachers and pe coaches or aids.

I don't like the way teachers treat use students always yelling early in the morning lunch is nasty and the milk be old we always gotta have our phone in a pouch then what is something happening and we can't contact our family can we at least have our phone out when we not working and at pe and lunch

This school has been through terrible years where the staff, faculty, etc. have no respect for each other or students. Recently has gotten better but that isn't saying much. The students aren't interested in learning because the current principle shuts the door on any of the students' creativity. The art department, for example, has been put through the wringer. The band has suffered drastically due to a lack of consistent leadership and a great director was put in place, he was fired for a complaint from a student that was mad because she wasn't able to keep up with the progress due to a lack of musical skill/ effort. From having, what was widely regarded as, one of the best bands in the city and the overall state with a wide fanbase and support group, to having almost 10 members and not having any resources for uniforms in a few months and the downward spiral is only getting worse. But that is just one aspect. The sports department on all fronts is also hampered by the new regime put in place by the Principal.
