Bridlemile started out very strong for our family but over the years the funding has dried up and so has the music program. What started out as a robust 4th & 5th grade strings and bands program (twice a week) is now only 5th grade band (maybe 1-2 times a week?). The current principal is very professional and warm with the students but alienates parents. The front office refuses to support after school programs. The facility is sadly run down with inconsistent A/C and the cafeteria food is appallingly bad. Most of these are PPS's issues, not Bridlemile's. On the whole, the staff is fantastic—warm, loving, and supportive. If you are going to have kids at PPS, this is a great school to choose. Boundaries may change soon, but for now it is a split feeder between West Sylvan MS / Lincoln HS and Robert Gray MS / Wells HS and overall families seem to be pretty happy with both.
