The worst school full of bullies both faculty and students. Principle never resolves issues bullying continues and they are always yelling and ive seen the deal with an autistic boy phsically. They have lunch staff who are bad in academics doing homework answers are incorrect. Your kids will learn about the birds and bees from some children of faculty. I have a list but this is very draining.

My grandchildren attended this school this year UNFORTUNATELY. They came from a caring, loving,helpful school, to attend this disaster. I've only encountered 1 teacher, who is friendly and worthy of being called a teacher at this school. This school does not encourage volunteers ( they act as if they are hiding something). Office staff and principal also unfriendly. Always EXCUSES from the teachers, why they don't need volunteers. REALLY?? NO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED? Children put on 2 days of silence (in the lunchroom) because they were too loud. I've witnessed several people screaming in childrens faces. Teachers unwilling to help children with questions about their work. This should have been one of the schools closing.

My children are in 4th and 5th grade this year and have both attended this school since Kindergarten. I did school choice to get my children in at Prine and have spent may hours commuting to get them to and from school. WORTH EVERY MINUTE AND MILE. My children have been on honor roll every quarter and excel in everything that they do. I believe it is due to the dedication and passion of each and every teacher and administrator that attributes to that. I love Prine and wouldn't dream of my children being anywhere else. The only thing that I would change is that more parents should put more time in with their children. PTO meetings have been known to have only 4-10 parents show up......there were 800 students last year. Parents have to get involved.

i guess all the talk about bulling at schools is all talk and no action.

My son is special needs and has been attending Prine since the age of 3. He has excelled in three years of Pre-K with Ms. Wendy West and her wonderful team. He is going to start Kindergarten and I wouldn't think of any other school They are very competent and I have no problems. Even though we don't live it Prine's school district, I submitted a hardship so my daughter could also attend. She will be in 2nd grade and I am so pleased with her progress. PRINE ROCKS!
