Pennington Elementary is a wonderful, diverse, nurturing environment, and they have some of the best teachers I have ever encountered. The children who attend this school are, for the most part, well mannered and friendly, and the parents enjoy being part of the Pennington community and are very much involved. My daughter has enjoyed learning and making lifelong friends there. The PTA also runs an amazing (affordable) afterschool program for all grade levels. The program includes activities like theater, dance, cooking, sewing, sports, and so much more. My daughter has so many wonderful memories there. I love this school and so does my daughter. I am saddened that she will be graduating the 6th grade next year and will have to move on to another school. I am hard pressed to find a school that matches up to Pennington.
Teacher's really worked well with my child. Mr. Constantinites was an excellent teacher. we will miss him!!!
The school is above average for Mt. Vernon. Unfortunately as word spread of its achievements within the city it has now become overcrowded. The K-8 pilot has resulted in even more overcrowding. On top of that the school taxes are very high in Mt. Vernon and unfortunately we do not get what we pay for relative to other municipalities' school districts. As a result of the poor middle school and high school achievement test results, overcrowding at Pennington and very high taxes I have decided to move and enroll my 2 children in another school district. It is unfortunate but a sad reality as we love the neighborhood but our children's education comes first.
Pennington and its educational community, from well-prepared teachers, a dedicated principal, an active PTA to the many involved parents, has provided so much to our children. By the numbers (test scores), Pennington Elementary School measures up, but it excels by providing a nurturing and challenging learning environment for students.
