This school is awesome. They have a principal and vice princopal who love every child in the school. They do not always make the most popular decision, but they make the decision that is best for every child. ARMT testing scores have been off the charts!!!!! Excelent school for anyones child!!!!

This school has great teachers and excellent leadership. Personally, I think the curriculum is challenging for the children. But, this is will prepare them to achieve in the future.

My child is a kindergardener in Mrs. Simons class. After a very rocky start to the school year, my child was diagnosed with ADHD. She has been really supportive and a great help. Thank God we were blessed to have her as his teacher. She is very patient and supportive of my son. Thank you again! Keep up the good work.

My child is in 5th Grade. She attended private school for 4 years. The transition was difficult for me. I think the school has great leadership and teachers. I wish there were more extra curricular activities in elementary schools.

Both of my children have attended PGES since kindergarten, now one is in 4th and the other 5th. Not only have they had WONDERFUL teachers and experiences all the way around. They come home HAPPY from their day at school. As for Mr. Jacks, so far he has done great in my opinion. And as for my children, they have the utmost respect for him and make it known often. I have had no complaints in six years, and I'm a stickler for a Mom, trust me. I wish PGES another great successful year!

I am very pleased with the school and I am very delighted to have such a great administration. Sometimes kids do not get discipline at home and the administration has the full job. I love the schools and the strict rules. our teachers can teach and my child learns and unruly children are put in their place.

I have a foster child that started PGES November 2005. She did not know ABC, 123, anc could not write her name. She was placed in Miss Clayton's kindergarten class. She has learned her alphabet, her numbers, and how to write her name. At the conclusion of the school year ... she's reading, adding, and subtracting! I am very proud of our school, our teachers, and our administrators. I applaud Mr. Jacks' leadership. I appreciate the discipine and structure in the classroom and the school. My foster daughter loves PGES and I do too!
