Piney Branch Elementary School

I can only describe this school and all of its teachers and staff with the very best words. Throughout my child’s years of education here, I never once needed to review any lessons with them, because every day they came home having fully learned everything at school. The teachers and staff are always engaged with families and respond to our questions and needs in the shortest possible time.For me, one of the most beautiful signs of this school’s quality is that my younger child cried for days at the beginning of every summer break because they missed their teachers so much. I truly believe this shows that all of the teachers are not only highly professional and skilled but also incredibly kind and caring.

We have had nothing but great experiences here. Principal Jeck is fantastic, Mr. C is the best Autism teacher you could ask for. The Preschool program is fantastic, Ms. Teri is a blessing. My son made so many great strides here. The communication among staff, administrators and teachers is A+Mrs. Cook is amazing, Mrs. Grezlak for second grade is one of the kindest, most caring people I have had the pleasure to meet. I could go on and on about this school, not a single bad experience. There is always an event at the school for families, we will truly miss BRES.

Absolutely horrible. When I had finally made the decision to take my kids out of this school I had just begun to realize how badly this school had affected them. My 2 oldest kids were put in the special needs class for no reason and without any warning to me.Even though my kids were diagnosed with autism they showed little to no visible signs of autism and were learning just fine. My kids were already reading before they started in this school, after 2 months of being in that class when I asked my kids how school was and what they learned, to my shock, my boys said they played with toys all day and the teacher didn’t teach them anything. Their reading skills had deteriorated gradually since they were put in that class. I hope to never set foot in that horrid building ever again. I definitely DO NOT recommend this school for anyone who

Horrible and Problematic experience with faculty & administration.

Unfortunately sometimes reviews are given based on what people think they know about a place rather than knowing the facts. The facts are that Buckland Mills still does give students PAWS awards and stickers. Administration calls parents to celebrate these PAW awards. They have even added to the award with tokens for the book vending machine when students get 2 golden PAWS. In addition, students who get PAWS get an item from the treasure chest. There are three administrators who divide up attendance for after school events and even attend weekend events such as concerts, robotics, and other county level tournaments. You just need to go onto the school website and scroll down to see the many awards and recognitions this school has received in the last four years. To stay really informed about a school and know the facts it is best to become involved by attending PTO and school advisory council meetings. All the staff at this school work hard and want the school to be recognized for all the amazing work.

This is our third year as a part of Linton Hall school. This school has been wonderful for both of my kids. The teachers are wonderful and my children are comfortable asking them for help as needed. My daughter struggled with reading and with the extra support from the school, her teacher, and the resource teacher she loves reading again. Both my children have also had success with the speech therapist that works with them weekly. My children are thriving at LHS.

All the teachers are incredibly great!! I have had three children go through this school and all of them have great memories from the friends, teachers, and lessons they’ve learned along the way.
