Wonderful school for both our children who attended Pinecrest. Both kids built great friendships, enjoyed learning more than their previous school, and all the teachers are happy and engaging.

We have had 2 children attend Pinecrest. It is a wonderful school filled with happy and engaging teachers. A wonderful community of parents and teachers on the PTA ( combined with the Montgomery Knolls PTA as MKES serves the k-2 students) sponsor many school and family events.

The class size per grade is a bit much. The Teachers don't make sure all the understanding of what they are learning and students just copy examples from the board to a worksheet with out any critical thinking.
