Both of my kids gave this school a try and had horrible experiences. I feel the teacher's pinned my kids as bad because they are brown or they didn't like them. It was so sad and I regretted putting my kids in this school. I even got called in for my bad kid but after I refused to believe their lies they looked at the cameras and found out my kid was being bullied first. When we finally went back to public school my youngest was smart but could not write as good as he should. Because pinecrest has those kids glued to computer screens all day. Both my kids are doing amazing now in public school. And I hear the same horror stories from other parents. Most of us are brown that have had it hard at pinecrest with unfair treatment. My youngest was so traumatized because his teacher would single him out and scream at him every day. He even brought her a homemade gift his last day. But she yelled at him so much that day he came home crying and said she didn't deserve his gift. Protect your children and believe them when they tell you stuff about this school.
