I love this school! The teachers are so nice especially Mrs.Brasher and Mrs.Short! Also the Principal Mrs.Lofton. She is a great principal,and she makes the school a better place!

My daughter went to Pine Level for first grade and excelled. She was advanced in her class so they seperated her and some other students who were also ahead of the game and catered to their needs several times a week. She loved that and felt special and also continued to enjoy learning. I think this is a excellant school.

I have been trying to get my son registered for school for 2 months now with no luck. They have an awful summer schedule. I have to miss a full day of work to get him registered because of them.

overall i think pine level is a pretty good school, but some of the teachers there are just plain rude and and say inappropriate things to children. also, the principle has a tendency to be a little rude herself.

This is the best school in Autauga County. These students score higher on all tests than any other school. Everyone from the administrative staff to the bus drivers are all 100% top notch. I feel blessed living in this school district. I have had one attend from K-6 and one child currenlty in the 4th grade . I could not imaging being anywhere but at PLES.

This is by far the best talked about school in our local area. With a child at this school and one to start this upcoming school year I look forward to sending them everyday. I never worry about my children at this school and know they are in the best of hands.

Pine Level has been a blessing for my 3 children, Mr Ferguson and Ms. Manning changed my daughters outlook on life. We need more teachers like them that really show an interest in the students life. It is a clean, safe environment and I am thankful to God for leading us there.

I have 2 children going to Pine Level. I agree with everything they have done for my children and are currently doing except the new dress code rules. This is a public school not a private school. I don't agree with the boys having to wear belts and tuck thier shirts in. I could understand it if they all wore uniforms.

I have two children at this school and think very highly of it. I believe my children are being offered a quality education. I believe like all schools there are individual instances where you have to make adjustments based on the rules but I would choose Pine Level out of any of the Autauga County Schools for my children to attend.

I currently have two children attending Pine Level. They have a wonderful staff and truly care about the success of the students. We are very happy with this school and would not want our children to attend anywhere else.
