Pine View School

Just wanted to save some people the anguish of relocating to Pineview -like we did - without knowing the truth. We had no idea we were putting our child into the "olympics"..... thats all that matters is scores/stats/competiton. My child kept up with the work and did incredible on the tests....but thats not the educational atmosphere we are looking for. * The Asst. prinicipal..Mrs. Savedra..pray you dont ever go to her with an issue..talk about an unprofessional and extremely rude principal. *** Oh, and dont forget to "google" in the news how PV had a rat infestation problem...THIS YEAR FOR MONTHS and didnt tell the parents until parents starting taking pictures and it went on the local news and Herald Tribune paper. All i know, is i wish we knew before we relocated... save your kids and do your own homework first.

Simply the best! Our daughter graduated today. Pine View has provided her the most solid of educational foundations from which to build. It may not be for everyone but if your child wants to succeed there can be no better platform. As a parent you may have to endure some stick for making them attend but it is worth it and today after many years I was thanked! Everything about this school is just so great. I say this as a parent that has witnessed what other local well rated schools offer. They do not compare. The level of mentoring and motivation these students receive is sensational. It should score 212%

This school is phenomenal. As the parent of a second grader, I am impressed on a weekly basis. The caliber of the kids, the staff, and the parents incredible. We had problems with my daughter fitting in at her old school. Here the kids are all bright, so there seems to be less teasing and more intellectual type play on the playground. Lots of project based learning, which is nice as the kids here run the gamut of giftedness. Not a one-size-fits-all curriculum either. Teachers seem willing and able to Differentiate among the students. They go at their own pace.

I'm a middle school student at PineView and the school is awesome. even though everyday i have about 5 hours of homework and it's normally challenging, I learn a lot. I practically learn something new everyday. i even learned how to freeze water in no more than a second in science class. Pine View has been great ever since I got there in 2nd grade.

Pine View is an outstanding school which supports the student to reach his/her academic potential. Pine View helps the students to stretch to their outer limits while giving them the support they need. The faculty is made up of hardworking caring individuals and the parents are always encouraged to be involved with both the school and their child's education. I couldn't be happier.

I'm ecstatic that my seven-year-old grandson is in an educational environment where he has the opportunity to develop all of his intellectual skills and still enjoy himself so much that he describes going to Pine View as being, "cooler than having a jet pack."

There could not have been a better choice for my son than Pineview. No other school in the two Counties can compare. The highest average SAT scores and the excellent Universities that the High School grads get into speaks for itself. My son has never been more social until he came to Pineview as he feels more comfortable. Again, some teachers are better than others, like you will have in any job, but overall we could not have asked for anything better. I do wish there were more High School Sports. Unfortunately the school is not geared towards gifted kids who enjoy the major sports such as baseball, football etc. To me that is the only thing missing in this great school.

I graduated from PV in 1980 and now both my children are there. It is a great school because of its incredible faculty, its supportive and visionary administration and a super collection of students and parents who are willing to go the extra mile.

Pine View was a wonderful experience as a student. The scope of opportunity for academic exploration is unparalleled.

Our family loves this school. Is there more homework? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Absolutely. 97% of PV students go on to college, but more importantly, this is a place where gifted kids feel at home.
