Pennington School

Posted August 18, 2009

My daughter attended Pennington from 1st grade thru 8th grade and if I had to do it all over again, I would. The school is focused on academics, which is fine with me. It would be nice though to have some sports programs for at least the middle schoolers. Best thing about the school though is the uniforms. I never had to worry about seeing children dressed in inappropriate clothes at dances. They are all so well behaved it is incredible. But alas, my daughter is off to Hylton this year and if it is half the school that Pennington is, I'll be thrilled. Hats off to Mrs Stockton and the rest of the staff!!!

My daughter has attended Pennington from the 1st grade and is presently going to the 8th. It has been an absolutely marvelous experience for us. Her study habits and grades are incredible thanks in a great way to Pennington. The teachers are dedicated and devoted to their vocation. The principle is outstanding, caring and very involved. I am not looking forward to leaving Pennington when my daughter graduates next year. Nevertheless, I know that her academic foundation is solid and she will prosper wherever she goes. Pennington may not be for everyone. The work is rigorous and challenging. Parents must be willing to put in the time and interest in their children's education in order for them to succeed. My daughter loves Pennington and has close friendships. I highly recommend Pennington as a model school.

My daughter has attended Pennington for 5 years now and I have nothing but praise for both the teachers and administration. It feels as if my daughter is in private school there. All her teachers have always given very personal attention to her, known her strenghts and weaknesses and worked closely with the other grade level teachers in a team. I feel the kids get so much personal attention from everyone because it is such a small school. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of Pennington.

Excellent school! I have lived in PWC county for more than 20 years and I have a 4, 8 and 12 year olds we have had children in four different schools and have had some great teachers and some poor teachers in all four schools. What separates Pennington is the committment of the parents. It is a big committment for the parents, but the the result is a system of excellence that encourages the average teachers to be excellent and the excellent teachers to be great! The parent commitment builds a strong interactive community where excellence is the standard. Pennington is the best 1-8 in PWC.
