4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school need new leadership and staff. Pennell scholars are all behind in all academics if you dont show interest in your child education this school do not care . you have about 2 good teachers that I know that really reach and care the rest is just there .waiting til they close it down .parents in our community did the best decisions getting their kids out of this school. education is free not a stimulation of a person diversity or special needs .I really dislike this school .lot change since my daughter graduated 15 years ago .. keep pushing our kids forward to achieve their goals at any school.Parent Review3y ago - Prince Hall School
