The school has been a positive experience in years past, however, it has declined significantly.

My son has been with Petsworth since 2010 and did 2 years of their PreK class to help prep him for Kindergarten!This was a joke!The 1st year he did good,teacher was great then found out at the end of the year they let the teacher go!Had a new teacher who was supposed to be better then the last year!Another joke,she was fresh out of school had never taught a class let alone a special education class!They learned a lot the first couple months!Then the teacher was told to change her focus from teaching shapes colors numbers and so on to more focus on life skills!Like my 4 yr old needs life skills to get into kindergarten?At the end of the year that teacher was let go also!Now my son just started KG and he is not ready at all!The days are to long for these little ones to be gone 81/2 hours a day!He is having a hard time with his teacher who is not special education friendly by far!My 5 yr old has been written up many times and it seems like no one is there to help guide him!I have asked for help and was told by the teacher she did not know what to tell me!This school has gone way down hill the past few years!New staff new principal so many changes and I do not think for the good!

It's the staff-from the Principal, the teachers, all the way to the janitor. Everyone truly cares about the children. They go above what one would expect. It's absolutely the best school!!
