Piedmont Community Charter School, Cfa

This school is simply amazing! PCCS urges the children to succeed with more challenging work that stimulates their minds and helps them grow. My son is in First Grade and he brings home challenging spelling words, advanced reading, and sometimes algebra! He is already on a third grade reading level and can finish his math homework with NO PROBLEM! The teachers and staff are wonderful and the parent involvement is superb!! This school should be rated more than a 6!!

I like the way the school is set up. The kids do not not wear cloths with labels on them, and I think that is great. This way nobody knows how much or how little you spent or wear you bought them.

PCCS is a good school. It is head and shoulders above the other elementary schools in the district. Yes, I am a little biased.

I know ALOT about PCCS! Our family has been there since the ribbon cutting! SUPER GREAT in the beginning! Not so good now. Classroom sizes are doubled, and the teachers are overwhelmed with only a handfull of full-time assistants. I think PCCS needs to have a cut-off on enrollment,( more like Highland Tech.) Focusing on what really works! Patience, kindness, structure, and most of all, leaving NO child behind! And, it IS true ' if you and/or your child make waves (become 'LABLED'), being pushed out is an understatement! Safety is my #1 priority for my kids, so we are not going anywhere. We are just going to keep our faith, and do alot of praying for a more positive school experience at PCCS.

This is my oldest second year, and my sons first. We were pleased with school last year, however this year, my son went from student of year in pre k, to what his teacher says is a behavior child. Granted this is coming from a sub, his regular teacher said he was doing great, right before moved to 2nd grade. They cut ten teachers hours in half, and do not have a art teacher anymore... The teacher assistants are teaching art. This is crazy. My children will not be attending next year there. Also if you don't pay for the holiday parties... They don't participate. And when i was in school it was parents brought in the goodies for the kids.. Not that it was pay or nothing at all!!! last year was awesome.. Hannah teacher was awesome... But this year, has been a total let down.

What is the answer for a watered down traditional public school education? PIEDMONT COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL! This school has a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum that begins in KINDERGARTEN! Both of my children attend PCCS and I am overwhelmed with the knowledge of rich world and U.S. history, literature and engaging math. They are being taught in a way that will set them a part. Even their art education is advanced-not only do they learn about the elements of art but about the artists like VanGogh, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Chagall and many more. Starting in kindergarten students even start to learn Spanish as a second language! This is the school for parents who want their child engaged and prepared for college.

Our son has started his second year (1st grade), and we conld not be more pleased wiht the cirriculum and especially the teachers both this year and last. I can not see him or our other son (2yrs old) going anywhere else. When I see him interacting with other kids his age that go to other schools in the area, it blows me away how much he stands out from them in general behavior, atttitude, awareness and conversational skills. At this early age the impressions that Piedmont has made on him have made his mother and I very pleased. Thank you to the teachers and staff at PCCS. R. Jacobs
