This school has went from a 10 to a negative 0. I remember when I myself was thrilled to see how my kids would be excited to go too school and now it is being draining for them knowing how the teachers there do more yelling and screaming then actual teaching. The professionalism with this school has lacked beyond disbelief. More training on respect needs to be had. Kids matter too.

This is the worst school I have ever seen in my life. My son is behind and had multiple issues I begged them for help and I never got it. Not only did they fail my child but they also failed to give me the things I ordered such as my child's planner, and yearbook. The principal has an attitude and talks to unhappy parents like they are disgruntled employees. Everything about this place is one giant FAIL. His new school this year has done more for him in 2 weeks than this school did for an entire year. If you're thinking about putting your kid here run the other way. They also tolerate bullying. There was a girl this past year that assaulted multiple students and she was never removed from the school so your child's safety is an issue here as well.

Pearson has been a good school but under new leadership it is excellent!
Posted: January 13, 2020
Students are given an appropriate amount of homework for their age. Reading nightly is a top priority and is a good time for our family to spend together.
Posted: January 13, 2020
The teachers are well trained and devote time from their own lives to make sure the children's academic needs are met.
Posted: January 13, 2020
The administrators have new programs in place as well as rewards for students exhibiting excellent behavior.

Mrs. Wilson is the new principal this year, and she is driven to create a school that supports our kids both academically and social-emotionally. She has implemented new systems that ensure the lessons are targeted and that all students receive instruction that helps them grow. Expectations are high for all!

While there are special programs, teachers work with kids at their level.

We haven't experienced bullying. Administrators deal with issues promptly and effectively.

Well I got that is another story.

Many can't handle being a teacher. Which means they can't teach your child.

Everyone does not get treated right are equally at this school.

The only leadership we got was that they called CPS on us.
Posted: April 25, 2018
They call them felons and I heard the principle Vicki say this myself.
Posted: April 25, 2018
They have bullied many of the students themselves.

A sad case of discrimination and vindictive ways.

I love how all of my children's teachers have gone out of their way to make learning fun, interesting, and have bent over backwards to help them understand things that they had trouble on.

When one of my children was experiencing unwanted attention from another student, the teachers of the whole team made it possible for her play in safety and feel like she could be herself again!

I love my children going to Pearson! The staff all truly care about each child's success and help students make obtainable goals so that they see their own progress. The PTA are the most active I have seen on any campus. They host many things that help make this campus a fun place to be and encourage making relationships that last! I love that my children have made great friendships with their peers both in the classroom and out. When moving from a small town to a big city, I was scared that my children wouldn't fit in or would be over exposed but Pearson has made us feel at home, welcome and has such a family atmosphere that I feel my children are safe and protected here.

My son absolutely loves this school!!! He is what is called "twice exceptional" which means that he has special needs, but is also gifted. This was the ONLY school equipped to help him in Kindergarten because they have something called the "ABC" Kinder program with the BEST teacher on the planet. My son is now in 1st grade, and again has a fabulous teacher who cares about all of her students and challenges them to do well. I also love the assistant principal who is one of the coolest guys and fantastic at his job; he is VERY involved with the student programs! The PTA is also great at this school and is very involved. I also love the Librarian, because she gets to know the students and they have a truly exceptional library at this school! My son may get into one of the magnet schools next year, but if he doesn't I won't be sad at all to stay at Pearson. I could not have asked for a better experience for him!

I used to go to school here from Kindergarten to 5th grade and I can tell you that it was bad. My teachers didn't help me much about the bullying that was happening to me. Not only that, but most of the teachers I had (except for two) were very rude! Whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE THIS SCHOOL A GOOD REVIEW! Its better if you don't because this school doesn't deserve it.
