Pine Forest High School

The leadership and staff at this school appear to be on a constant power trip. Simple requests turn into drawn-out conflicts, and parents are treated more like adversaries than partners. The overall atmosphere is tense, unprofessional, and unnecessarily confrontational.This is not the kind of environment most parents want their children in. If you value cooperation, respect, and a school that actually works with families, you may want to look elsewhere.

I pick up my sister from this school every day and have never had any issues—until recently. This past Friday, my car unexpectedly shut off while I was in the pickup line. I had two young children in the car, including my autistic son, so I was trying to avoid blocking traffic or creating a safety issue.I moved to an open area and repeatedly tried to get the attention of the staff member directing traffic (an older woman with gray, shoulder-length curly hair), explaining that it was an emergency. She ignored me multiple times and made no effort to assist, even after responding that she could hear me. She did not make eye contact or acknowledge the situation at all.Eventually, another staff member stepped in and helped by calling my sister over the intercom. The lack of response from the original staff member was extremely concerning. In a situation that could have been more serious, the outcome could have been much worse.I understand that pickup can be busy, but staff should be trained to respond to urgent situations and communicate respectfully with parents and guardians. This experience left me feeling completely disregarded and concerned about overall safety during pickup.

This school is very unprofessional. The teachers are wack. They don’t call or respond to anything you send to the school. The principal doesn’t respond to voicemail and the front office lady is very rude. I hate that I even put my child in this school. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this school for anyone.

If you are looking for an elementary school. I would highly recommend looking at school. Staff is helpful and always nice. Great education

horrible school,decided to let a kid that brought a knife to school come back to the school letting him disobey his probation from a restraining order against a kid and removed his expulsion from his record allowing him to be a danger to all of the children at the school
