Verde K-8

This school reminds me of a WW2 prisoner of war camp. Parent participation is not encouraged

My experience in this school is absolutely horrid. The classrooms are tiny, sad, and the teachers don't aid to you. Please, don't fall for what this school advertises you because it all is fake. There is absolutely no student support, stay clear of this mess and waste of 40 thousand dollars. Don't send your kids here, or else you will end up seeing their faces full of sadness, and stress. The school is not meant to aid you, quit frankly the contrary; I have found in my years as an alumni in Pine Crest the school motivates you to do bad, and sets you up for failure.

This school is full of problems. There was extreme favoritism, and if you weren’t in the “right” group, you were ignored or treated unfairly. The administration rarely listened to students’ concerns and never gave anyone the benefit of the doubt. Although the school claims to be about Christianity and forgiveness, the reality is very different. There’s little kindness or understanding. The kids were often stuck up, rude, and bullies, making it hard to feel safe or accepted. Teachers sometimes gossiped about students instead of supporting them. On top of that, the school had poor communication with parents, outdated facilities, and little effort to address bullying or mental health issues. Discipline was inconsistent and sometimes harsh without clear reasons. Overall, it’s not a place I would trust to care for or educate children properly.

All the teachers are amazing. The staff is great! Although they’ve had some changes recently most of the original staff is still there and continue to deliver an amazing atmosphere for the kids. The lady at the front desk is always helpful and happy. My kids love her and we truly enjoyed all our interactions with her.
