Pine Lake Preparatory School

I am a parent of a 7th grader at Pine Lake. This is my childs second year & it is wonderful! The teachers are fantastic. The school is clean, the kids are respectful. The courses are hard & my son has to work for his grades. There are no buses & the car line is very long (the first 2 weeks of school=30 mins. or more) but it gets better & is well worth it for the education that ny child is getting. I have never spoken to a parent at Pine Lake that is unhappy witht he school. We as so happy that we made the lottery.

This school is amazing! I love it so much, I have no problem telling my parents what I had learned that day! The teachers are so nice, and I made the best friends ever at this school. I love how involved everybody is, PLP is where I belong, I'll never leave!!!

Great combination of committed families, excellent teachers, strong academics, sense of community and new facilities. Our robotics team just came back from the World Championships and a new athletic center is already being planned. PLP is a wonderful academic community.

I have 3 children at PLP in grades 2nd, 5th and 7th. This is our 2nd year and it has been a great experience. They provide a challenging curriculum and safe environment at the school. It is big enough but a small atmosphere which is just what I wanted for the kids. They have accomplished so much in a short amount of time and will only get better. I am so thankful to have my children at PLP!

I now have 3 kids in grades K, 2, and 5 at PLP. My daughter moved there in 4th grade after attending what most would say a 'hard school' with 2-3 hours of homework each night just to keep up. She absolutely loves PLP and says the biggest difference to her is that the teachers teach better. She says when she has a question, they take the time to answer her rather than saying it's time to move on. The curriculum is better and we love that they teach spanish. My boys in grades K and 2 love PLP. This school has the perfect mixture of nurturing, preparing, leading, and engaging our future leaders into the real world! 'Grades and all' unlike some charters in our area. A rating of 'School of Distinction' after it's first year is fantastic.

I am not at all very pleased with this school. I wanted my child to attend Lake Norman Charter, but no luck getting in there. We got in at PLP and I was very pleased. However, that attitude had changed quite quickly for myself and my son. Teachers are very nice, but the schoolwork is not at all challenging as compared to other charter schools in the area. I feel like they will not be prepared at all. This is still a better choice then public school, but again I am hoping to get into LNCS next go round. Thank you for listening.

We really like the emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and FIRST Robotics at PLP -across all the grade levels k-12. The afterschool robotics program teaches students soft skills of working within a team, planning, organizing, scheduling, and sharing. Also, the STEM and robotic's related fieldtrips bring relevence to the student's work in school. My daughter got her hands on a $1.5M DaVinnci robot a few months back at a local hospital and it changed her whole perception of STEM and robotics.
