You all need to do better. I went there and it was a bad school. That was over ten years ago. DO BETTER. THESE STUDENTS DESERVE BETTER!!!
Posted by a parent on 12/31/2021Since September 2017, Penrose has begun to improve its atmosphere and learning environment. Central administration finally realized where the problem was and removed it. There is now a new principal and support staff. Teachers now feel appreciated and supported. As a recently retired teacher, I have
Posted by a parent on 1/31/2019This school is totally lacking control.There is no leadership or an authority figure for children to look up to as role models.The principal is so ineffective. All he is good for is observing teachers and being critical of them as the inmates run the asylum.Poor leadership qualities and very lazy. H
Posted by a community member on 11/8/2014This school is a disgrace to the theory of the word education. I can't believe it's even open. My kids won't be there the entire school year.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI can't say enough positive things about my family's experience with this school. Our three daughters have been at PMCS through its various stages, including a period of transition a few years ago. I'm happy to say the last couple years have been truly amazing, with such talented, dedicated and creative administration and teachers and staff who pay close attention to every student, valuing each as an individual and expecting every child to succeed. Even during the rough period our kids had extraordinary teachers -- couldn't have asked for better. Every time parents around us gripe about their school I feel grateful that my kids have landed in such a caring and positive place.Parent Review11y ago - Patterson John M School
