7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur child truly enjoys this school and has made leaps and bounds with the help of staff after returning to full-time instruction. Peirce, along with all of Arlington Public Schools, is growing. The new Principal has made a difference and the town has hired an Assistant Principal which should keep the school on good footing as it expands. In the next 2-3 years, K-5 will have 3 classes each. We did have one of the new teachers and it was an excellent experience. We have been happy with the support we were given for the subjects our child needed help in and by the end of the year they were where they should be. We look forward to another great year next year.Parent Review2y ago - Check out schools near 78 Sunset Rd.
