Pierce Terrace Elementary School has been a blessing for our family. From day one, we felt welcomed not only by the staff and teachers, but by the entire school community. The environment is nurturing, inclusive, and safe—truly a place where children can thrive both academically and emotionally.

The teachers go above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued and supported. They communicate well with parents and take the time to personalize learning, making sure no child is left behind. My child comes home excited to share what they’ve learned each day, and that joy says everything.

What really stands out is the school’s strong emphasis on family engagement. We are consistently invited to participate in events, classroom activities, and school-wide programs. It’s clear that the school values parents as true partners in education.

Pierce Terrace has created a culture built on kindness, respect, and community. Students learn not only math and reading but also how to be good human beings. I’ve witnessed the genuine care staff members show not just to the students, but to one another. It’s a place where relationships matter.

If you’re looking for a school where your child will be seen, heard, and encouraged to shine, I wholeheartedly recommend Pierce Terrace Elementary School. It’s more than a school—it’s a family!

Not when the communication is so bad you send someone a collection notice without a drop of prior acknowledgement

Y son would receive a packet at the beginning of the week and half the time it wouldn't even be 1st grade material just some random print sheets

I received a bill of 556.07 today my son has not attended Pierce Terrace in 2 years! I lived at Fort Jackson for 3 years I'm not understanding why no one contacted me about (which they still haven't). I have PCS'd and It blows my mind you would send someone a collection notice of almost 600.00 with no prior bills phone calls letters etc. I am so freaking hot right now you will be getting a call from me on Monday! I work everyday there is no way I would let any of my bills get to the point its in collection shame on you guys for such communication and underhandedness.
