me too I did not like the PE period its all about runing only and the coach is very tough with the kids, my son gets tierd of runing ..also I do not like the idea of dividing the students into teams, they do not communicate or see each others ... but in term of education and organization its a good school....

I find PCMS to be a good school so far, one complaint I do have is the LACK OF HOMEWORK!!! My child is a honor student which helps because these students dont get home work. Therefor I had to develop my own system to enhance my childs studies daily.I would like to see these students challenged more academically!!!

My child has been there 3 days and, so far, we're underwhelmed. The website is confusing. Information about pre-registration was unclear and hard to find and when we got there, the office staff was less than helpful. Staff was standing by the front door the first day handing out warning slips to children they deemed were dressed inappropriately. Our child, wearing what she thought was in compliance with the dress code, failed to wear a collared shirt the first day, so immediately received a Notice of Violation of Dress Standard and possibility of suspension next time. She reports that the gym teacher yelled at them the whole, first day class and another teacher spent the entire class time going over the DeKalb County student handbook. Another teacher gave them busy work the first class for about 15 minutes. I hope the rest of the year is better.

My daughter did like the teachers but did not get to see her friends very often. The teachers discouraged socializing, however my daughter was a very social girl and did not like that at all. They divide each grade into teams: P, C, M (6th grade only), and S. S is generally the gifted team, P is the high achiever/general, as is C (and M, for 6th grade). The students from the various teams did not see each other often--if ever. Another thing my daughter did not like was the PE classes. Mostly the only thing that they do is run. The coaches deal with everything by making the students run. A program that they run is CV Day, every Monday where they have to run for the entire (55 minute) class period--not counting the 20 minutes they give the students to change. Overall it is an OK schoool.

I love this school! The teachers work together as a team and the communication has been wonderful. My child is not only doing well and learning, but he is also having fun and enjoying being a part of all academic and extra curricular programs that Peachtree has to offer. I am so proud to be a part of this community school and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a diverse, loving and challenging school.

Peachtree is a very pleasant Dekalb County school. The teachers are very caring and they really challenge the students to do their best. They don't baby them at all! They encourage parent participation. In fact it's mandatory!
