Peachtree Elementary School

I was amazed at how fast my daughter was reading proficiently and by other skills she acquired at this school. By the middle of first grade, she was reading like a fourth grader. This is a great school with excellent teachers.

I have been involved with PES for over 10 years, I can honestly say that there is not a more hard working, professional group of teachers in any school in Gwinnett County. Peachtree is the only International Bacceularate school in Gwinnett County. This greatly effects the teaching and learning at Peachtree. There is far more hands on learning due to the IB program. Parents who look at statistics only need to visit Peachtree to see it firsthand. It is truly a special place where high expectations are the norm.

All my children have attended Peachtree Elementary School. They have received an excellent education through out the years. If you note the leaders in Pickeneyville Middle and then onto Norcross High School, a majority are Peachtree Elementary alumnae. Leadership and Responsibility are are very important part of the IB program and Peachtree has instilled this in their students. Peachtree is the right road to take when your child is looking for a quality education.

The school is a candidate for the International Baccalaureate designation and the curriculum, teacher participation and staff leadership has really stepped up to meet the criteria! Once done, it will be an exclusive area for getting IB schools from elementary through high school. I have a son in the gifted program and it has done wonders for him!

I feel that Peachtree Elementary should be rewarded because of its wonderful acedemic program and its diversity. Their method of teaching (more hands on) is beneficial for all the children. I believe that the teachers and all of the staff are genuinely interested and caring to all of the students. I love Peachtree Elementary!

You are providing my granddaughter with a very positive, nurturing learning experience (she is six years old).

I have been happy at Peachtree this year only because of the teachers we have had. Overall, I believe there is little diversity at Peachtree.....while others may consider it diverse. I believe the quality of the school has declined a great deal. As a parent, I have safety concerns and also very unhappy with the cleanliness of the school grounds. I believe that so many essentials have been removed in the name of 'diversity'....PE should be everyday, year round. Spanish is year round...although on a rotating schedule. The arts 9 weeks each during the year. Children need recess....but if a teacher chooses not go take her class at all for the entire year...it is considered acceptable. I will say....on things that can be changed that you are not happy with....the administration is most always very helpful. Still....from 20 years ago.....you could say today, it 'ain't what it used to be'.

My son had a great year last year in Kindergarten. The teacher and the staff are very professional and student centered.
