This is my son's first year at PGSFTA, and so far I am unimpressed with school organization. He has had three schedules assigned to him in as many weeks, none of which were what he was supposed to be in (art major). We did get him into the Art program, but wonder how the preEOG scores will look, seeing as the kids were going to different classes the first month of school. And yes, the counselor said it was all the grades with schedule problems, not just 7th. They do have new Principal and vice Principals this year, and had several come and go last year, which may be why there is so much confusion this year. PTA is going to become PTSA, and has many dedicated PTA volunteers from other schools, who have built PTAs successfully elsewhere, so that should improve this year.
I am a parent of a 7th grader attending this school for the second year.Great academics and arts program.But too much unnecessary control almost threatening to the kids over their clothes verses the learning.I let her attend because she wants too,was not my first choice for her.So far she still does well.
I am a currently a rising 9th Grader at Griffin and I've attended Griffin since 6th grade. In the last couple years our school has changed dramatically for the better. The focus in the arts is outstanding and I am very pleased. The high school program is more dedicated to the arts and our program is progressing.
Penn-Griffin is an awesome school for the arts. My son attended two years there and not only enjoyed it but his grades improved, as well. The music programs are outstanding. However, I was disappointed with the drama department. Lack of stage productions was blamed on lack of student involement and/or poor student behavior. I feel the young people in the drama program were bored and not challenged. Better scheduling of daily activities on the teacher's part is where I, as a parent, saw the fault. Overall, it is a very good school.
