Our family has been at the school for 13 years. It's a great community and parents are very much involved. We are in need of new lower school bldgs. The teachers in the LS are wonderful! The HS could use a lot of work in general, administration, hiring of teacher...etc.
Pinecrest is an excellent school. It mirrors what we are trying to develop in our children: good morals, striving to be your best and practicing the Catholic faith. I like that the teachers don't let things go - neatness counts, being kind and respectful matters. Through moves, we have enrolled in three other Catholic schools. There's no comparison to Pinecrest. The teachers are amazing, and the influence of Catholic priests and consecrated people is notable.
All throughout elementary and middle school, I had a decent time at Pinecrest. There weren't any bad memories for me. However, when I went to high school, it all changed. They don't care about your well-being at all. They just care about the length of your skirt. They don't understand that high school students are students you can't try to shelter. They're trying to make all these students into priests and nuns. I suffered a serious injury at that school that caused me to go into a coma, lose my memory, and be slower at everything. For a bit, they did their best to accommodate. However, after a bit they didn't care. They stopped paying for the doctor appointments I had to constantly go to because something was wrong with me. Teachers didn't care that I had a legitimate excuse to why I needed more time to do homework. This school is trash and you're better off somewhere else.
