The staff communicated very well with us. We had two children attend this school and they thrived. The staff was caring, supportive and thoughtful. The school itself is clean, safe and well maintained. Overall a very good experience.

My children attended school here from 2015-2019 and both today them thrived. It’s a great school, with dedicated staff and a tight knit community. It was so hard to say goodbye!

The experience with school is disappointing. Communication is very bad with parents. A large percentage of students have excellent grades in all subjects, except music education. The whole community is aware of this problem, and everyone is talking about this problem, but nothing is being done.

I have such big issues with this school. There is zero communication. The school nurse likes to make stuff up and make my child change his clothes for no reason. The reasons they give are untrue. Stating he had an accident, i check the pants and they are perfectly clean and smell like my lavander laundry soap? If i had the means to move out of this school district i would in a heartbeat. I dread sending him to school every day.

School is very communicative, my son really loves it and is learning on track for grade level despite his disability.

This is my daughter's second year at PES and I am so, so happy that we moved here. She is truly thriving! The teachers and administration are excellent, and there is such a great sense of community. Would absolutely recommend this school for anyone looking to move to the area.
