My son had a nightmare experience at this school. Throughout 6th grader he was bullied. I was in consistent contact with the principal to try to help remedy the situation. I really did not want to move my son to a new school. After 6 months of no resolution, I had to take my child out of this school due to lack of action from the administration. I could get into the details of what my son endured, but there aren't enough characters available. It was a nightmare. The school staff and administration is a joke.

This is a great school despite its not so great reputation. The new principal has been doing a great job and there hasnt been any recent issues.

I dont like this school, the students have a lot of behavioral issues and refuse to take accountability for their actions. A lot of bullying and ostracism towards those who didnt even do anything, dont have weird interests, behave well, and generally conform the societys standards. Students gossip a lot and like making those who they dont like feel bad about themselves.
The principal is nice, and most teachers are nice, however I have had issues about this before.

The sixth grade teachers partner together and core Math/Science and English/History so they each team has the same students. This gives the teachers more time with their students and helps the students with their transition to Pine Hollow Middle School. It was a great experience.

Leadership classes work to benefit both the school and community. Counselors work with all students to help build character and conscience.

The resource programs are supportive and through, from IEPs to 504's. Support is systematic.
Posted: June 11, 2017
There are bullying prevention programs administered by counselors, classrooms, and administrators.

For me it is the best place. Students who want to prepare, even now, for college have a chance to do so. There are resources for that difficult middle school age, and there are enthusiastic adults on campus who want to teach and help students develop character.

Some teachers use homelink effectively and some do not. Communication is very limited here.

Low math testing overall. Allow students to struggle all year without support. Just conitinue to pass them with D's and F's

Kids are mean to each other and Adminstration does nothing. Bullying is ramped without any real involvement from administrators.
Posted: April 18, 2017
Principle has been there way to long. She no longer seems to care to improve the school. Only to run the day to day operation.

Admistration is not involved enough. Go there a lunch time. You are lucky to see one Adminstrator amoungst the student body.

I have had two children go through Pine Hollow over the course of 10 years. My last one is there now and is miserable. Admistration is lacking any enthusiasm. Bullying and sexual harassment is not addressed. Overall this school needs a facelift.

Bullying in class and on campus is ignored by teachers and principal. One of my sons insures his chair being kicked and his books being taken from his desk and dropped on the floor during one of his classes everyday.

My students are realy struggling and are expected to do work that is not of thier ability even after individual testing showed they can not complete at that level.
Posted: March 4, 2017
Nothing is done to punish bullies. My children are in tears several times a week.

This school has a few excellent staff including the OT, Art Teacher, and Support Staff. The Principal needs to protect the students from teachers practicing illegal sharing of information. Also teachers need to be stricter on dealing with bullying during class.
Posted: March 4, 2017
My sons are assigned homework that is way over their ability. They have a homework club 2 days a week but there is a waiting list we have been on for 7 months and still waiting.
Posted: March 4, 2017
Personal medical information was shared with a class by a teacher. The results have been extreme bullying for my son. Principal did nothing.

They have improved every year for the last five years our kids have attended. Higher scores and higher expectations. It could use some TLC, but there are some good people there.

My daughter is a sixth grader at the school, and I think the school and teachers are not very helpful. Seems to me that the teachers are trying to cram so much topics in a short period of time and don't care whether the students understand the topic. In addition, when students asks questions, they do not want to clarify or explain.
