Not only are the kids at this school on track, and most ahead of the curve, but the teachers and principal are fantastic. It starts from the top. The principal, Mr. D is an awesome leader to the teachers and also the students. Everyone who works there respects him! I think when the teachers are content and happy with where they are, they will invest more into our children. And our children show it! I would not have my kiddos go anywhere else.

WOW!!! My daughter was doing great in Kindergarten and first grade, but she hit a brick wall in second grade. School became too hard and not fun. She got behind in reading, and way behind in math. (Not blaming the school, I think there were a lot of different factors that contributed.) But from that point on she needed extra help in reading and math. I was encouraged to get involved with her classes and kept apprised of her progress. The teachers have been amazing, they always welcome me anytime I want to discuss concerns. They have taken the time to recognize her strengths and weaknesses and they have been immensely patient working with her. Now, in fifth grade - someone annoymously nominated her for the People to People Student Ambassador Program, she was also nominated for Student Council by her teacher because of her work ethic and the quality of work she is turning in, and then voted in by the other teachers. Today, I learned that she is in the challenge group in math, and has been put in Gifted and Talented! And she's actually reading for fun! It has been a long three years, but with the school's help she is back where she should be! We couldn't be happier!

PES is really exceptional, from the care and concern of the above average teachers to the incredible principal. My two boys have really thrived in this school and I can't imagine a better school anywhere. We love Mr. D and all he has brought to the school!
