Diefendorf abuses kids!!! He humiliated them and makes them emotionally suffer.
Posted by a community member on 1/31/2026We brought both girls to start 6th and 7th grade here after four years of private school. We were worried that they might have a hard time, but they both fit in and excelled at academics, sports and making good friends. The principle that took over in 2024 is amazing and holds the students accountab
Posted by a parent on 9/14/2025I have several students that attended this school. The teachers are amazing and the kids are given great learning opportunities. Teachers rarely assign homework, and provide make up time to fix missing or low scoring work, which includes a willingness to work with kids after school. I cannot rate th

Staff does not get involved, even had to seek legal support outside of school because of how bad it got. My son admitted to me, he wished he went to a different school when he first started Jr. High. I know to not let my other childre

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had only one child attend this school for ECE - preschool for one year. And while we had to transfer to our school closer to home, we certainly miss this school for a number of reasons. His teacher Ms. B was amazing and did wonderful with the children. The children utilized the whole school very well, to experience the library, had assemblies, performances and used the playground. It's a beautiful school and well kept, new with a nice view. Always clean and easy to park at. We certainly miss being here and I can see all the many things they did right in comparison.Parent Review2y ago - Pine Tree Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy Child has told me all year long that nothing new is being taught that she didn't already learn from her old school. Throughout the year my child has been the victim of bullying and harassment. The school is full of children that are out of control and disrespectful and teachers that can't be bothered. Constantly I've been informed of swearing from Teacher's/aids/ substitutes directed at the students. Overall, just disappointed and missing the school my child was enrolled in before we had to move here. I'm understanding why so many parents are pulling out their kids and going with Private or Home Schooling.Parent Review1y ago
