Pleasant Glade Elementary School

My child has learned nothing at this school. We came from GA where he was advanced and now he is behind. They don't focus on the three R's enough. I think education got lost and America needs to go back to the basics of learning. Math and Reading are the most important subjects. If time allows then teach culture. Culture is not that important. The kids will learn culture as they grow up just like we did.

Pleasant Glade is a wonderful school. I have two children who currentlty attend. They love their teachers and have made many wonderful friends. The office staff and teachers are very supportive and always willing to help. When anyone asks me where my children attend I proudly say Pleasant Glade Elementary, the best school in town.

Pleasant Glade is a very diverse school helping students to understand and appreciate many different cultures. The students there are wonderful and the Principal ( Mr. Walton) truly cares about each student and has gone above and beyond for his school he offers students who are on time and not absent a 'special lunch' to enjoy with their parents or loved ones and each of those students recieve a cookie and bookmark for their efforts. I love this school!

Caring and Thoughtful teachers. Principal goes out of his way to make sure that each student feels accepted and a valued member of the PG community. All you need to do is spend some time at the school one day, any day.

I agree that most of the teachers are friendly and on the most part the school is safe, but to receive a 4 out of 10 is clearly unacceptable and more has to be done to increase the educational componet at the school. We don't need to feel all excited because we are greated with a typical rehearsed smile, we need a stronger effort in getting the children to meet this ridiculous standarded called the WASL.

Pleasant Glade is a wonderful school that is rich with social and economic diversity. The staff and Pleasant Glade genuinely care for the children. My children are happy to get up and go to school every day. They are eager learners and I think that says a lot about the staff at this unique school. The four rating doesn't give the school the true rating it deserves. There is always room for improvement and I believe this school strives for it.

We just recently moved from Germany to Washington and enrolled both our boys into school at Pleasant Glade Elementary, a 4th grader and 5th grader, they enjoy this school better compared to their previous school. I have never seen them so excited about learning before or even wanting to get up in the am and go to school.
