This establishment and it’s so called teachers completely and utterly take the fun out of llearning. The English department does not teach, they outsource the teaching to ridiculous on-line programs like NoRedink. My child did NO writing this past year. The Math department also very weak. They zoom through lesson plans to make sure they are teaching to the standardized test. The teachers justify their salary by creaming the kids with “busy work”. With the exception of the horticulture teacher, which was actually engaging the kids, there is no real learning happening. I could print worksheets and present them to my child too, but that is not what REAL educators do. I cannot believe my tax money went to PWCS for such low quality education. In fact, we are moving on to private school. Unfortunately, for all the other kiddos out there that parent’s cannot afford private school, my heart goes out to them. They are getting robbed of a real education.

It was fine until Dr. Jacks took over and now it's gone completely downhill. 50% of teachers went to other schools at the end of his first year and I pulled my kid out to homeschool. He's arrogant and controlling and talks about the parents behind their backs. He's also unfortunately really bad at logistics, and leaves teachers without any guidelines at all so no one knows how they are supposed to handle any problems or complications. Running a K-8 is really logistically complicated because you essentially have two separate schools in one building and he's utter rubbish at it. I would highly recommend going elsewhere if possible!
