best teachers, reports are accurate for my kids.clean school

Pearl Sample was not originally the school I wanted my children to attend when I moved to the area. I could not have been more wrong. PS has been nothing but great to my children. The can see their growth as they move through grades. If I have had any issues they have always been address accordingly. Go PS!

Many students are below reading level. One of my kids complains about how they have to do indoor recess when personally all kids should have all of their recesses outside, as long as weather permits. They're cooped up all day. I'm disappointed in the lack of field trips one of my kids gets. 1 of the comments says, title 1, more funds, but I don't see where the funds are going. Kids will come home to tell me they've been harassed, touched, or hit by a student and the teacher always failed to inform me. Unless your kid knows who did it, teachers won't want to provide information. Lack of diversity when it comes to educators. Mainly white females. We need more male educators or educators of different ethnicities or backgrounds. A lot are usually new and from PA. It's like pulling for teeth trying to find out what all your kid is learning about. Always vague answers. Whatever happened to syllabi in school?

Excellent school! We have been so impressed!
