Pine Tree offers all the programs that a large school offers with much more family involvement.

School is noninclusive and harsh in it's policies. Staff doesn't respect students and is apathetic.

In the Longview area this is pretty much the "safe" school and while there are some level of worldly kids thats pretty much to be expected in East Texas. However they tend to overemphasize social status so if you want your kid to be popular this is the best place. If you can't afford a lot of gimmicks and your child does well academically don't expect it to matter. Placement for college is spurious and there is a lot of grade inflation and extracurricular group projects to help people who aren't motivated but in the right clique get by but its not going to get people ready to go as college freshmen. Its really just a matter if you want your kids to be relatively safer and suffer a bit academically so long as you know there is a good group and a bad group. If your kid is in the bad group by high school the tell tale signs will start with encouragement to place them elsewhere and then discipline problems that never existed before will be invented. If you live in the right neighborhood this could be the best experience of your child's life before the real world catches up with them.
