Pinewood Elementary School

My kid went here for 2 years and what a mistake it was. He never wanted to talk about school and didn’t seem learn a whole lot. Nice teachers and admins but it didn’t connect with my kid. 1.5 months in a new school and he’s loving it, started speaking Spanish and his reading and math are on point now. And he doesn’t stop talking about all the things they learn.

I have been impressed with the school and student culture improvements/changes that have been made and the way, as a parent, I can relate to as well as understand the complexity of public education in my community. It takes a village is becoming a part of what has made this school exceptional since 2008, making me internally wonder what this community had before River Oaks Academy was built and what will public education look like as the nearby police station finishes construction and traffic increases and population growth along with residential developments and lesser parks/green space evolves.
