Pacific Drive Elementary School

This school has a lot of caring wonderful teachers, it also has some that in my opinion are not doing their best. My child went to this school but began to achieve higher things in Jr. High.

I feel that as a parent the education of our children come first and that every parent will do what is best for there children education and safety.

I'm sorry that the previous parent felt that way. I feel that the teachers are going above and beyond to communicate. My sons' teachers would frequently stay late to work with my children or pull me aside to talk to me about any concerns they might have. But, in the long run...wherever you go, there you are.

I hate this school, there's no communication between parents and staff. No phone calls are returned the teachers act like your bothering them. they would rather 'tadle' on your child and leave it at that then work with you. My son has been here for a total of 1 month and he will not be returning next year.

My daughter attended this school for two months before I pulled her out and put her in private school. Parent involvement is seriously lacking. I saw about 5 parents, with a class size of over 30, who attended back to school night.

The teachers seem to gossip about the students a lot and I find that innapropriate. It seems like an okay school but I'm glad that my daughter will be moving on after her last year.

I do agree the quality has gone down. It seems teachers unfortunately are dealing with politics and having to fight to teach their students. Therefore, taking attention and energy away from the kids. Parents need to be more involved in school and at home not just with extracurricular activities.

My child attended this school from 2nd through 6th grades. During this time, she was identified with a learning disability by an excellent school psychologist and resource teacher. She also had access to very caring teachers at times. Some of the teachers are obviously burned out and overwhelmed by the lack of discipline so obviously evident in the school's culture.

Pacific Drive has a mixture in it's staff, some teachers are great and really care about the students, others don't.

Mariann Martin is the best part of Pacific Drive schhol. Any student lucky enough to have met her has a place in her heart for the rest of their lives! Thank Heaven for such a loving person helping to teach children.
