The reviews need to be updated. Class size is well over 30 students per teacher. No teachers assistants in the classes. Unless your child is outgoing they are completely overlooked and graded average. The teachers in the rotating classes or "specials" do not even know most of the students names, but provide grades. The school needs to significantly decrease class sizes.

My daughters LOVE going to school everyday because of the teachers and staff at POES. The teachers are quick to respond and really care about the success of my girls. Great school and proud to live in Piney Orchard.

My son and daughter attending this school for the past 3 years. They love it more than home. Both of them love their teachers. Once when we were just discussing moving out of this area, my son was crying. When I asked him why, he replied he does not want to leave his school and his teacher. Teachers response any of parents question is super fast and their really act quickly on your concern. I would rate more than 5 stars if there were :)

My family just moved to the area. So we weren't sure what to expect when it came down to the school my son was going to attend. To my surprise, my son loves the school. His grades have gone up, he participates and socializes with other kids in school. His teacher is absolutely amazing and the principal is awesome. They truly care about the kids education. The parent/teacher communicaton is great. We really lucked out in finding this school. I look forward to enrolling my younger son next year. I highly recommend this school to anyone.

Piney Orchard is a wonderful school. My son is now and fifth grade. All the teachers quickly respond to you when you have a question or a concern. They truly seem to want the best for the kids. The band instructor is awesome! The school offers afterschool activities including a Stock Market Club among others. My son has enjoyed this school. I agree that it is a topnotch school! Thank you teachers and staff!

We are new to this community and really researched schools in this area before moving here. We called and dropped by unannounced and had positive experiences each time. Now that our son is in school, we feel comfortable recommending POES to others. The teachers and staff are terrific and we feel our son is learning and socializing quite nicely. Top notch school!

This is the best school a parent could ask for!!! Unfortunately my family is being transfered out of the state. I am so sad that my children have to leave this school - the teachers and staff are always helpful and keep you informed. The music program is out of this world! We will miss POE tremendously:(
