Mary E Pennock Elementary School

All three of my children have attended Pennock, and I love the school. Teachers are great, and so are the administrars. They don't get to pick and choose who attends so you can have a wide range of levels in each class. The teachers do a great job meeting everyone s needs at all levels. Pennock also have so much community support and involvement.

I have had my daughter at Pennock since it first opened it's doors. She was in the original kindergarten class when the school opened. We have been pleased with every teacher she has had. The classes can be tough but we like that the kids are challenged. I now have my son in kindergarten there. My only negative is that it has turned into a K-5 school. I wish my daughter could have continued there through 8th grade.

We switched our daughter from private school to Mary E Pennock due to a number of reasons. Since she has been at this school we have been so very pleased. The teachers work to meet each student where they are and to challenge them. We are so lucky to have this school in our neighborhood. We also have our recently adopted son in this school. The special education services are incredible.

We just moved here from Texas and this school is outstanding so far. The teachers are all very good and they seem to know how to actually teach. The principal and vice principal are great and know how to deal with children on a level they can understand. The parents seem very involved.

I have worked with young children for over ten years and have a Master's degree in education, I also have a child who attends Pennock and I feel qualified enough to say I know a great school when I step foot in one! I have worked in several elementary schools and worked with a variety of staff, and the staff at this school is of the highest quality around. The teacher, administrator, parent relationship at Pennock fosters an educational environment full of enthusiasm, respect, and overall fun! I could not be more delighted with my child's educational experiences thus far. Together with competent staff and active parent involvement, Pennock has nurtured a place where students can truly grow into happy, confident children, who enjoy going to school every day!

General ed kids can thrive, however children with an IEP or a 504 plan get left in the dust!

This school is excellet for any 'normal' child. It is does not know how to meet the needs of a special ed student.
