PPA is an excellent school. My kids have progressed in a short time. Teachers and staff are very supportive. The curriculum is great.
PPA is a wonderful school. The administration is very helpful and supportive. My son, has progressed nicely, being taught by exceptional and warmhearted teachers. The teachers are very involved with the students and keep them engaged and challenged. The school provides the latest technology for the students to enjoy. I also enjoy that the parents are highly involved in the school with their children. It's a safe haven and I feel comfortable leaving my son at PPA every morning knowing he's getting a great education with great teachers. We are extremely happy with everything the school shares with all of us.
This is an excellent school. The teacher's are extremely dedicated and the students are very nicely mannered.
PPA is an amazing school. It is has exceptional teachers and staff. It feels like a private school in the sense of it being small and offering so much, but at no cost to the parents. The kids have top notch materials and have access to the latest technology. The parent involvement is like no other. We give so much and get so much in return as well. I have two children in the school and have no doubts that I have chosen the best school for them. Keep up the good PPA!
This school reinforces the traditional values that have long left our public school system; building good moral characters while providing an excellent education. As a vigilant parent of a student at Pinecrest Preparatory Academy Charter School, I attest to a well run, well managed charter school that persistently strides in improving students academic achievements while providing a sound learning environment.
Working at PPA is an experience like no other. As a professional you can be part of an amazing team of people that work together and strive to accomplish the same goal- student success. Students have fun learning and participating in all of our school events. PPA provides its students with a large variety of resources in technology in order to improve on their education AND they can actually use...more than 10 students at a time!
At Pinecrest Preparatory Academy, student achievement is their priority. As a parent of 2 children that have already graduated from PPA and another one presently enrolled, I believe the teachers and staff at PPA help the students develop extremely strong academic and character skills.
Working as a teacher at PPA is an amazing experience. It truly is an honor to work here. The staff, administration, teachers and parents are all involved and work together as an effective team. The children are given ample opportunities to learn in various ways by using different teaching strategies. The students have so much extra technology that other schools do not have such as the promethean board, computer lab which is utilized, and labtops that each class is allowed to use!!
PPA is a wonderful school! It offers a safe and positive environment for students and staff. All teachers at PPA are hardworking and take pride in what they do.
I am very disappointed with PPA. The classrooms are extremely small and overcrowded with children. This makes learning nearly impossible. Also, there is only ONE computer per classrooms. In regular public schools students have at least four computers, which makes me think that students can't use the computers for small reading groups. The principal claims that they have a computer lab, but student dont go to the lab everyday. Also, if your child has special needs this is not the school for your child. I dont think the building nor the teachers are up to part to my expectations. Other schools in the area offer way better accomodations.
