My experience at this school was curious the first year. Second year it is getting sticky. I have two that attend this school. Where one teacher volunteer to leave no child behind VS another teacher who volunteer and not communicate with the parents about there child learning. And the principals do not return your calls neither emails. This school fail to even try to help one my child learn throughout the school me as parent feel as if my child not getting proper learning and the school would rather nickpick with my child and know the the fact that my child learns different from others. This school have mentors who are not great leaders VS those that try to make a difference in a child life. I recommend but do not recommend this school due to poor communication and staff with childish behavior. When I send my kids to school I expect for them to get teach! to add on this school do not mentor your kids properly. This school don't do too much parent support and communicate when need. Neither movatates their students hard enough. And disrespectful to parents.

My personal experience in the two years that my son has been attending Pocalla.... Beyond great! Ms. Eadon (K) and Ms. Risinger (1st) are two of the best.

This school is great because of the love, care and time Ms. Lee has taken with my child. She should be awarded teacher of the year for her dedication and professionalism. She strives to ensure that each and every child in her charge is able to grasp the lesson for the day. My classroom observation has given me a greater respect and admiration for her and every educator would do well to model themselves after her. Bravo Ms. Lee
