6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two children that attend PKE, and we couldn't be happier with their elementary school. Their teachers have all been wonderful - even through the pandemic, they genuinely did the best they could; and they've been working really hard on different levels with students post covid. The kids all seem to have a positive relationship with staff including Jodi, the principal - shes amazing. Overall, I feel like my kids are valued and heard while attending at PKE. They don't let them slip through the cracks!Parent Review2mo ago - North Sashabaw Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageYes, Montessori schools are great in general. However, this one does not measure up. The middle school teachers here are not even certified to be teaching Montessori and are not always treated appropriately by the administration. We have had a few teachers quit because their level of pay did not reflect the amount of work they were tasked with handling (Some have to create their own curriculum). We have gone through so many teachers throughout these last couple of years and for some reason, we can't manage to hold janitors. The school does not have adequate funding for all its necessities (half the rooms are poorly insulated and do not get warm in the winter). We don't have a counselor for the middle school and students do not receive specific mental health services unless they have accomodations. Recently the school did try to implement a "Mental Health Day" into its schedule but that was completely ridiculous. It was just a normal day of school but filling out different worksheets and assignments about depression, anxiety, or whatever else. Maybe that day was fine for learning about mental health, but it did nothing to help the current state of students' mental health. Also, the school has fake recycling bins around the school. All the paper that gets put into those bins just gets dumped into the dumpster with the rest of the trash. Although, I can confirm the academics here are not terrible. In most classes students will learn what they need for the state tests and whatnot. But the students here are definitely NOT excited about what they're learning. But I guess it is hard to make students exciting about writing tone analyses and doing math homework. The student community here is not completely supportive or kind. You can make friends of course, but I can't guarantee anyone who is not your friend will treat you favorably. There are unkind students, and although the school will tell you there is zero tolerance for bullying, that is not true. It could most likely be that most negative interactions between students go unreported, but even when teachers notice it the worst they do is give the perpetrator a warning or scold them, which never puts an end to the behavior and does nothing but create grudges between students, so I would say there is definitely tolerance. Overall, this school should be your last choice. I've never heard anyone here say "I love this school!" in a non-sarcastic tone. It's only good for decent academics.Student Review11mo ago
