Can't even keep the class rooms open. Students unable to get educated here because theres always a reason they have to go home. They still get them tax dollars though

Far above our expectations!!!! Originally Perkinston was going to be a stop-gap for our family until we found “the perfect school.” Now we know this is exactly where our son is supposed to be. The admin, teachers and support staff have become like family to us.

My child had a life threatening food allergy and PES doesn't take it seriously enough. Last year, my child's teacher brought cookies into the classroom that she knew my child couldn't eat...when I confronted her, she said, "I knew he couldn't have them, but I just really wanted a cookie." I couldnt believe it. To put my child's life in jeopardy for a cookie! Yes, I went to the principal, but nothing really happened. This year, my child's teacher blatantly refused to let the parents know that there is a child with a food allergy in the class. She said that she couldn't control what is brought in her room. As a teacher, you have every right to control what's brought into the classroom, especially if it's due to a life or death situation. Instead, I had to again go to the principal and it was finally sent home once at the end of this school year in small print on the weekly homework newsletter. It's frustrating. I will be getting a 504 for next school year!

They have the best staff I have seen. They all pull together and get a problem solve. Outstanding teachers at this school, along with great custodians who keep the school very clean for all the kids and staff.
