Pinewood Elementary School

If I could give 0 star, I would. Teachers are very irresponsible and careless. My child was bullied, threaten to bring money or they would hit her, and though she tried many times to speak to her teacher, she was told to “sit down”. The problem was escalated to the principal and we were promised nothing bad would happen, she was hit by the same bully kid the next day. Yet they have not done a single thing to either discipline the bully, nor the teacher that neglected my child when she asked for help. I will report this matter to the school district. This is unacceptable!

This school has a family feel to them. All of the teachers care about care about the students and keep track of them as they go to older grades.

My son and daughter both went here amazing staff and tearchers

Excelente escuela. Mi hija aprendio a leer desde que llego y lleva 3 años. LosProfesores siempre han sido comunicativos

ReviewI hope this review finds some a bit of deferment and I hope it shakes others up. Grace has always had a “high” standard in our community. So many people praise it yet when I sent my child it was nothing but devastation. The days became long and impossible to get through. The teachers had little to no empathy or care for their students. I made my child’s teacher aware of an illness and if it was to occur to call me immediately, my request was ignored and my child suffered. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the only time my child suffered at the exspense of Grace. Not only did they ignore my requests when it came to their health but they also refused to listen when my child cried for help. The bullying became so severe and after speaking with not only the teacher but the principle as well nothing was done. I was told my child was the problem. It becomes a problem when a child looses their voice and can no longer speak up for themselves because they know that they will have no support and no one who will stand up for them. If your child is bullied at Grace it will not stop and they will victim blame.They have a lack of discipline and understanding of discipline, they show favoritism and make it very clear when a child is not liked to not only the child themself but also to the parents.Grace lacks accommodations and compassion. Each child has specific needs but they do not care. They will not accommodate your child whether they have a diagnosis or just need a little extra help. Grace will ignore your request as a parent and they will make your child suffer. Emotionally, academically, anyway imaginable. If your child does not fit their mold then your child will be belittled and ridiculed. I have nothing good to say about this school!!!! If you have an exceptional child, one who you want to be molded into their own person, one you want to be kind and that you want to be treated with the respect that they deserve….DO NOT I repeat DO NOT go to Grace!
