I have two children in Pearsontown Elementary, and have been very pleased with both the teachers and the other staff.

My daughter is in K so it is our 1st yr. I like her teacher Ms. Overby, she is a very caring person. She has over 20yrs experience and is very creative. They do a lot of worksheets and that is really boring to my daughter, but her teacher tries to make the learning more fun by doing book reports, journals, and presentations. She has so many 'carnival' parties for the kids that are better then birthday parties. Her communication is good as she writes long letters to the parents every week. The Principal calls on the automated phone system to remind us of events almost weekly. He is new, and I feel he is a kind man that deserves a chance. They test for AIG in K. The learning gap is small. My daughter is reading so well & that is a credit to Ms. Overby! Thanks!

I am happy with the school overall - My child has been there since Kindergarten and is now in the 3rd grade. I must say though that since the change of Principals communication had decreased, and leadership is not what it used to be- since the old Principal left and unfortunately some of the older teachers who where of quality retired. I think they do need more extra curriculars such as band. I can say that my child is learning and overall it is good for a public school education

I am happy that parents are so involved in this school. We all kind of look out for one another's child(ren). I will say this though, as for my child's teacher, communication has lacked since the first day. Principals are nice, teachers appear committed, and children are actively learning new things daily. My child's teacher has been on a 'mysterious medical leave' for most of this first half of the school year. I am concerned because no one has notified any of us class parents. You must be proactive in order to get any information. No one will tell you anything unless you ask. Overall, I like the way things are going. I give it 3 stars because its been a bit 'quiet' with the experience with my child's teacher, but I do like how much my child has grown in just the first few two quarters.
