Orchard Hill Intermediate School

PCMS is the perfect blend. Our son is thriving academically, but also spends time learning about the world, art, and music. Best of all, he's allowed to move! The Montessori environment allows kids to work at his/her own pace and learn independence.

I would not recommend this school based on what I’ve seen and experienced. There seems to be a serious lack of organization and consistency in leadership, which trickles down into the overall environment. Decisions feel scattered, and it’s hard to tell who is actually in charge. There also appears to be a lot of turnover with both staff and students, which is concerning for anyone looking for stability. That kind of inconsistency makes it difficult for kids to have a reliable, supportive learning experience. My biggest concern is the lack of clear support systems in place for students who may need extra help. For a school that presents itself as supportive, I didn’t see enough evidence of strong structures to meet a wide range of student needs.It feels like the priorities are not where they should be. I would strongly encourage families to ask very direct questions and do thorough research before enrolling.
