My son has gone to Pisgah since Kindergarten and he is now in the 4th grade. Pisgah Elementary is a great school. It has some really wonderful teachers and a great support staff. The principal really cares about the students. Pisgah also offers terrific after school extra-curricular activities for the students such as Basketball 101, Fit Girls, Book Club, & Destination Imagination. I am not looking forward to the day he has to move on to Enka Middle.

My husband attended this school when he was a child and my son has attended Pisgah since Kindergarten. It is a small rural school, but that doesn't stop the children from getting a quality education. There is a great teacher/child ratio and the school keeps up with the latest technology. Parent involvement is always welcome whether it be in the classroom or on field trips or helping with PTO fundraisers. Pisgah is really a terrific school!

Pisgah Elementary is a very participation oreiented school with true community values. The building has been maintained very well and we had a new office complex built last year. The faculty and staff are all so friendly and avaliable for before and after school help and conferences. Mr.Jay Dale our principal is very active with the students and parents. He sends phone messages often to inform us of everthing from fundraisers to reminders. Last year in my sons second grade class there were only 16 children, and 3 computers in there classroom, and they have a huge computer lab. The ratios are excellent!!!!

This is an awesome elementary school. The staff is very attentive and committed. I feel very blessed to live in this district so that my children can attend here. My son has recieved tutoring and extra homework help through the school free of charge to us. His scores have improved dramatically. I would recommend this school to any parent. The principal, Mr. Jay Dale, is easily accessible should I ever have a question. I simply can't give enough praise to all of the staff at Pisgah. They are wonderful!

I think this is a great school for my daughter. There isn't alot of children there so she gets that one on one time with her teacher and I think that is great.
