Pecos Elementary School is a great place to be a kid! We have a super new leader who has the support of her staff. The teachers work as a true team and changes are happening all the time. There are always challenges ahead, but data is being analyzed to make sure that the changes will be helpful and successful. We have the support of our parents through an active PTA that provides great opportunities for our students. I expect Pecos Elementary to become one of the role models for other schools in our state.

Pecos Elementary School is a great school. Students are challenged and all teachers have high expectations. Our school believes that all students can learn. Students are treated fairly and have a voice in everything we do in the classroom. I have worked in many capacities within the district. Teaching by far has been the most rewarding of all positions I have held within the district. I am proud to be a Teacher at Pecos Elementary.

The school is getting better, but the staff has to challenge the kids more and expect more from them. The students can produce more.
