Pine Grove Manor Elementary School

I've seen the older comments and yes some were very true BACK THEN but this school has really improved. This year there was a new Principal that wants the voices of the students to be heard . There are many new programs and extra help. Bullying is not common and the teachers do care about students. Without Hesitation This Is A Great School.

Gentlemen, the principal of this school is a highly unprofessional individual—or at least, that is how she treated my wife and me. Let me explain: my son was involved in a minor accident while playing soccer; he and another boy both jumped for the ball, and the other child fell to the ground and injured his arm. After reviewing the video footage, the principal accused my son of intentionally causing the injury. When I demanded that she show us a longer segment of the video, she kicked us out of her office because she wanted us to admit that our son had acted out of malice. The assistant director arrived at the office, where I asked him if he could answer a question for me. He very politely agreed, but the director grabbed the door, slammed it in our faces, and did not allow us to ask him the question.

New parents may struggle to learn the ropes as there is very little newbie guidance and there is so much information shared without consistent connection to direct instructions. However, there is year over year consistency in policy and procedure AND it is more than evident that the teachers and staff are fully engaged with their parent community, They WANT to partner with us. That’s rare and wonderful. I’m proud my children are part of this school community.

One of the worst school ever. I would never recommend anyone to enrolled their kids in this school. Inexperienced teacher.

4 /10 The core of the school are the teachers and half of them don't know how to teach kids effectively

Current school leadership owes the outgoing class and parents an apology for lacking objectivity and for telling teachers and staff that they can not wait for this class to leave the school. Do they have 35 more students incoming for next school year to fill this void? How much money from these families - that bridges were burned, has been left on the table? Clearly there is only concern for the leadership's feelings and not of the jobs of the teachers or staff. Lack of consistency and objectivity regarding punishments and infractions has been shown loud and clear. If leadership is gossiping and speaking badly about a child or family to you - wake up - because they are also speaking this way about you and your family.
