As a student at Pinecrest, the teachers are all very caring of the students and will take notice when something is wrong. There is so much opportunity here that it gives me a chance to really find myself and with the help of teachers, I've been so happy to be put in mind and get so much done!

The level of caring about and teaching these children is sub-standard at best. It is obvious the teachers and admin collect there paycheck and move on. Teachers with tenure don't stay because the administration is faulty, and does not address issues with any sense of urgency. They discipline kids for playing or running, but don't moderate kids with pants around their knees. The whole system is part of the problem and the students pay the price.
