In my opinion, the principal had cared more about what the girls were wearing than their academic capabilities. She would deliberately point out a girl and humiliate her if a bra strap had been out, a back was showing, or if an inch of stomach was revealed. She also very inappropriately would tell the girls that there were 3-4 b’s in which were not to be shown. Back, belly, behinds, and cleavage. Yet would tell the boys a very minimal amount and rules. This is only a problem if you see it as a problem in which what the girls are wearing are not at all supposed to be deemed as a violation unless they are genuinely wearing clothing that may be harmful at they’re 13-14 selves. It is unacceptable and I do not find it appropriate at all. Besides the principal I find the teachers to be delightful in which they happen to induce joy into my child due to their teaching methods and wonderful attitude. My child was wonderfully happy with all of her teachers and was able to create a bond with each of them. My kid was able to break out of her shell and participate in each class comfortably. Hoping that the new principal is more open minded this year and doesn’t immediately undermine the young girls for the upcoming school year.

This high school is truly outstanding. The teachers and staff are dedicated, supportive, and genuinely care about helping students succeed. The school offers a positive learning environment, strong academics, and great opportunities for students to grow both inside and outside the classroom.

ok school if your student is average. For those students that need help or need to be challenged there arent a lot of options or support. The kindergarten teacher is less than warm and welcoming which every new kindergartener needs. I was not impressed by this school and the lack of activities/clubs for the students is sad.

My opinion. Both my kids have been or are at PKMS. My older child had a tough time there but she is not one to speak up. The environment is cold. The older front desk lady is super rude to students and sometimes parents for no reason the younger one is really nice. My child recently got detention for speaking up when another child was physically disruptive towards her during learning in her 6th grade social studies. The the teacher saw it told the child to stop rather than intervening and pulling that child away she continued to teach. My child out of frustration, facetiously said a phrase that goes against the handbook. My kiddo never gets in trouble, is a straight A student. In the spur of the moment out of frustration she blurted out the phrase. The teacher admitted it it was provoked and out of frustration yet instead of being a normal adult and giving her a verbal warning on choosing her words wisely in these moments and mentoring her she wrote her up. The principal who deals with discipline messaged me that she is lucky that worse action wasn’t taken towards my child (cops being called) for speaking up and defending herself. Further us as parents were never given a notice of her detention or otherwise. The principal said whatever kids say or bring forth that is of concern is “hearsay” they are mean and manipulative so they can’t be trusted. This has been one of the many experiences that we’ve had at PKMS Bullying is rampant nothing will be done but those who stand up to bullies or disruptive kids will be sent to detention or worse suspension or expulsion.
