Palmyra Area Middle School

Good: My child is improving in writing! Less cliques in the school yard. Improving: This school has a lot of potential for excellence now that a new administration has been implemented. In the future, communication between parents and teachers will likely improve if school district administrators require teachers to be more accessible. Teachers that respond to emails and participate in parent-teacher conferences are helpful to parents as it enables them to work as a team rather then in silos. It is hopeful that teaching methods, books and overall building wear and tear will be updated in the near future. Curriculum improvements might include more learner led and project based type of differentiated learning activities. Repetitive busywork, worksheets and excessive homework drills might be replaced with more interactive, high interest content. Also, a stronger emphasis in differentiated instruction and teacher rotation are key steps in creating life-long learners! Currently, I would recommend this school for mainstream direct- instruction regular-ed learning types. Lots of football players and team spirit in this school! Go Cougars!

My 9 year old Daughter loves Pine.The Staff really cares about her.At parent ,teacher conf. teachers really listen and explain things. I am very happy with pine.

Teachers, staff, director are professional and care about the students very much. Amazing experience for parents and student

First off, it is a brand new school with an ultra modern and spacious well designed building. Location is excellent, away from all busy roads and being only accessible by car or bus makes it safe for the students and staff. The teachers are well qualified and trained and are very helpful and friendly and go the extra step to keep parents updated and informed about their ward. They are also completely accessible 24/7 by email and thus help many parents to overcome some urgent problems. The Principal is a young and dynamic lady who is very helpful and accessible and goes out of her way to solve parents concerns and difficulties. The classrooms are very large and ultramodern with full facilities like restrooms built inside instead of common restrooms . The pick up and drop off of students is very professionally managed with number of wardens to ensure your children's safety. Lingle Avenue Elementary School is one of the most modern new schools you will ever find in the Central State
