Pinnacle Charter School

I currently have three children who attend and love Pinnacle Charter School. We adore the school staff as well as the other families who attend.My children have participated in a baseball league, basketball league, a soccer league, a science fair,music lessons , voice lessons,bike recycling program, a track league, and a self -esteem building program called "Girls on the Run", while here at Pinnacle Charter School among other activities. This school has had a great impact on my childrens lives, and we are blessed to be apart of this school!

I have nothing but great things to say about this school. My daughter attends this school and i also have recommended it to several parents who are looking to transfer their children from the public school to this school for the 2010-11 school year. This school really does care about their students. You will never find Mrs. Rotella in her office as she is always in a classroom helping a teacher. The teachers are fantastic. They will go above and beyond to help you with your child to see that your child succeeds and if outside resources are needed they will assist you with that as well. Im not sure if the reviews that were put in here were by involved parents but as an involved and active parent i can say what you put into your childs education is what you get out. The teachers work their tails off everyday.

This school doesn't care about their students. They care about scores. This school is a disappointment to the community at large.

This is my son's third year and he is doing awesome. He loves his teachers and his grades are excellent. I have nothing but good things abour Pinnacle. There are many resources for children and parents if your child is struggling with their studies.

At first I was very happy with all that i thought pinnacle had to offer, but soon I was very upset with many things about the school. The administration was poor, the office staff is rude and out of touch with the needs of the students. I recieved poor communication regarding my children and i ver got my questions answered unless i caused a ruckus. I am glad i made a better chioce for my children.

I guess I had high hopes for the school. I hoped it would really be a great change for my Child, For the record I attend school events,I speak to my childs teacher daily' I attend meetings. I'm involved. However my child is failing and the school does not know what to do for her, We come up with great ideas together then they drop the ball each time. Frankly I'm sick of checking behind teachers and Adminstration to ensure they are doing what needs to be done for our children. The school is great for students who have little to no issues' but for us parents who have children who suffers from learning disabilites they don't know what to do to make them sucessful, it hurts really bad to see your child suffering in school and the staff not all , treat you like crap because your vocal parent.

Pinnacle Charter School Is Great! My children have excelled so much there. I have 3 children with special needs that attend Pinnacle. All of there needs are met and they are on the fast track to success.The first year they attended I noticed drastic changes in a very short amount of time. I am very pleased with what PCS has to offer. To each his own. We Choose PINNACLE CHARTER GO PCS!

[T]his school is a joke i took my children out and put them in another charter school and they found my kids were below grade level which is suprizing since one of my children whats elevated a grade before coming to this school. [I]n my opinion this school [has] poor leadership and some of the most arrogant yelling staff members.

Pinnacle is a fantastic school and a great place for my son. They have gym class 4 times a week and art and music 2 times. He has been taking Spanish since Kindergarten and loves his middle of the day club. The Family Council meeting never start on time and that is one problem that I have. The teachers are so hard working and very friendly. They are always working the events at night and never seem to tire of the kids! I love Pinnacle and think that in the next few years, the scores and ratings will go up.

this schools leadership is quite poor and they dont address parents concerns and privacy is not one of their attributes. this school had such great potential , but now it's just another school that is failing the community . this is not the principal school it's the community.
