Pinch is a wonderful school with a focus on leadership, student achievement,preparing each child for success in the future, and reaching the "whole child"

The teachers here are great. My child makes excellent grades and is one of the sweetest, most caring people I know, yet, the Principal seems as if she has a personal affliction with child. My child has come home crying dozens of times after being accused of and scolded for things she didn't do. (She actually checked a surveillance video and concluded my child was innocent and never offered an apology to my child at all.) Another call today in which I was completely misinformed about (according to other personnel and parents). She is very cold and insincere and doesn't seem to care about getting all of the facts before making assumtions and accusations. I'm not sure my child's self-esteem and psyche can handle much more. The most heartbreaking part is that my child loves school and the teachers here, however, because of the Principal, I fear this will be our last year attending Pinch.

Pinch is a wonderful school. My kids go to Pinch now, but will soon be moving out of district. Pinch Elementary makes the choice of another school even more difficult. The principal is very active and can be seen walking around talking to teachers, staff, parents, and students. Pinch teachers are very compassionate about their students by going above and beyond to help each child. One program of focus is the Seven Habits by Stephen Covey. Teachers reward students who they feel are the best leaders in their class. Bulldog Pride!
