Pine Run El School

Amazing School. So HAPPY my kids attend!!!

Pine run really is a great place to grow! I actually went here as a kid! Now I have two girls that go here as well. Love the teachers so far and my first grader's teacher even sends pics of the kids doing activities in her weekly email update. My oldest was struggling with a school subject and was given one on one support from an aide and it made such a difference. The school does a lot of 'family fun nights' and many people who aren't in the school have made comments about how many activities the school has.

Pine Run ES is an excellent place for kids and parents alike. Teachers and the admin staff involves parents, and treats them with a high degree of respect and empathy. I have 3 boys that attended, they have each received terrific attention to their social and academic needs. The open classroom design is unique, but more an asset than a drawback, it encourages social recognition of manners and behavior. I could go on and on, but enough to say this is a rewarding school experience that has introduced us as a family to community involvement.

Our two children went to Pine Run Elementary. I got a call from the school one day to come to the school to talk about my older son. They detected a speech impediment and wanted to bring in a specialist once a week for speech therapy. I couldn't believe it. I had not even heard the impediment in my son's speech it was so slight! But the school picked it up and were all about addressing it. On another occasion my son's gifted teacher advised me to get my younger son tested for the gifted program. She said that there are several types of gifted and my second son was very unusual. He fit the criteria for exceptionally creative and gifted children that schools don't often see. Sure enough he tested well and was placed in the gifted program. We were so pleased with the personal attention paid to our children. They also received an excellent education. We volunteered in the classroom when our kids were in the open classrooms. We saw no problem with the set-up and , frankly, never thought about it. The classrooms didn't strike us as all the "open." There were barriers between the classrooms. Our kids never once complained about it.
