The principal at this school is very ineffective. She does not handle adversity in her school well, and she focuses on taking sides with minority children rather than what is right and wrong.

I used to go to pinewood it was a good school. Pinewood created a good experience. Little did I know I would go to Nathan Hale Magnet Middle School and be in the honors classes.

This is NOT an accurate rating for 2014!!! However, I'm am 36 now and when I was in the 2nd grade - I went here. This school STILL haunts me in my nightmares!!!! It was a horrible experience for me!!!!!! My very large female teacher sat on me several times and would yell at everyone. One of the most horrific things I remeber was spelling! We would have a test and if you got a 100% you would walk around the room and chant " I got a 100 percent" at all the unfortunate kids ( myself included) while we looked on ashamed of our selfs. HORRIBLE! I also " learned " how to do math a crazy way that is still plaguing me today. Just awful! I sincerely believe it couldn't possibly be this way anymore. I hope it is a great CHANGED school today. I'm not even sure why I felt compelled to look up reviews on this school, or why I felt the need to post this. I just really REALLY hope it's not like this today!
