Every parent wants the best for their children. I am confident our kids are receiving the very best for our family. We are not wealthy, and our children are not extremely athletic. We are a mixed race family, and we have never felt excluded. The teachers love on our kids so well. We are very thankful for the strong, supportive community at PA!

We have loved every minute of our time with our kids at Pulaski Academy. We simply cannot say enough good things about this school. It continues to be ranked at the top of nearly every list for central Arkansas for a reason. The school has brought out the very best in each of our kids by challenging them in different ways to reach their full potential.

My child has attended PA for the last 7 years. The school has gone above and beyond to ensure a quality education and caring environment. The teachers and administration in ECS and lower school (our only experience) are exceptional in character and knowledge. We are pleased with Pulaski Academy.

My wife was an alumni and our two boys have graduated from this school. The academic preparation for higher education can be matched by only a few schools in the Little Rock area. Additionally, this school is diverse of it's enrollees and Parents. While there are "clicks" no student is left alone. The Administration and teachers truly care about your child's development both academically as well as socially. College is within the grasp of all graduates of PA and they are well prepared for collegiate curriculum.

Our two kids have really enjoyed PA. They come home happy every day and the teachers have been very supportive. They are given a lot of time in middle school to work on homework so we have not had much work to do do at home. Overall, we are happy with our experience here and have recommended this school to many friends.

This school is established for the rich and influencal families of the area. It should change it's name to sports academy because sports is the most important thing. Academics do not get as much attention or resources. You can check how many National Merit Scholars this school produced over the years. None or very little. Considering its expensive tuition it is not acceptable. On the other hand they are proud of their sports achievements. This teams are also established to promote these rich and influencial families children. They will be given the most revered spots and leadership positions. On top of that your children are expected to be great full and thankful just to be in their presence. Do not waste your money. Your money is going to be used to promote other children. Award ceremonies are nauseating. These privileged children get all kind of meaningless awards.

Higher administration is biased toward certain families. All the teachers have kids here and they collectively only look out for their own kids.

If I can start again I will not send my kid to this school

Good! We aren't wealthy. We don't own expensive cars or a big house and we can't donate a lot of money to the school. It hasn't affected the way our family is treated in the least. We haven't experienced any snobbiness at all from staff or other families. I was really surprised at how welcoming people are! We do try to volunteer every once in a while because we want to do our part. I'm so thankful my son gets to attend PA! It's an amazing school!

Our child has been at PA in the ECS (Early Childhood School) for two years now. We absolutely loved the Cub Academy teachers and the overall atmosphere. While we still love the PK3 level, there have been a few things that have happened this year that we have questioned. If a child cannot sleep or isn't listening, they are sent to the head of the ECS's office for "discipline." We find this method counteractive because it seems too harsh for three year olds, and we feel it sends a bad message to the children that they're in trouble because they don't want to nap or they're exploring and testing their limits. We had been warned about fitting in the "PA Box" and I think this is a prime example. We cannot speak for the middle school and upper school, but there any many positive aspects of the lower school at PA. We do know quite a few families that have left this year and some that are already thinking about not returning for the next academic year. I'm not sure all of the reasons why enrollment has decreased though. I do highly recommend the Cub Academy, though.

It's a great place for elitist and racists. The rest of us, just try to keep our kids grounded or find a better social environment.
