Excellent experience at Pike Road. Our kids came from a private school environment prior to attending. Love that they are being exposed to the "real world" where people don't always look, act or believe the same as us - which was not the case in private school. I feel they will be better prepared for life due to the learning methods and the social interactions they are having.

e are a military family & move all the time. This is our daughters 4th Elementary School so we have lots of experience with other schools to compare it to. We absolutely love it! Our daughter says it’s her favorite school she’s attended and she feels like she learns more at PRES than her previous elementary schools. She is in the gifted program and this is actually the first gifted class that really REALLY pushes her to deeper learning & more critical thinking than previous programs she’s been in. The teachers at PRES are passionate about teaching and it shows. Upon first moving to AL I reached out to the Pike Road Schools Military Liason to get some guidance on registration & any other pertinent info I needed to know about PRES. Within 30 minutes of our phone call (no exaggeration), I received a call from the elementary school principal telling me he heard this will be our daughters 4th school and wants to help her transition be as smooth as possible. Asked what type of learning style & teacher personality works best for her. Also asked what subjects she’s strongest or weakest in, then he paired her up with the 4th grade teacher he thought would fit her needs the best. I was blown away! We’ve never received that kind of assistance or welcoming from any previous school. Pike Road Elementary is a fantastic school. 5 stars all the way!
