The bullying and threats have gotten out of hand and it seems to always happen. My son went here the opening year and hated it and it's sad the same has happened to my daughter.

I cannot express how much my son and I detest this school. Let's start at the beginning. I went to…read moreenroll my son, and they told me they couldn't, I had to go elsewhere. I drove all over the county, and everyone sent me back to Shrade. I finally went back there, and they huffed and threw some paperwork at me. I told them there was an issue, and they said don't worry about it. The day of school I find out it IS an issue, and I have to wait TWO WEEKS for my son to start school! I made some calls, and he was finally permitted to start. From then on, anytime I have had a question (when is picture day? when is the fundraiser? when can I meet my son's teachers?) I got met with "I don't know" or "that's not my job." You're the secretary! Whose job is it?! Anytime I asked a question, they pulled my son from class to try to make him answer. If my son knew, I wouldn't be asking the school! Thankfully, another school noticed my son was incredibly intelligent and recruited him. I asked Shrade to forward his file to them. They wouldn't unless I withdrew him first, so I did. The new school was appalled; it turns out that Shrade didn't do ANYTHING they were supposed to! Paperwork wasn't filed; it turns out my son qualified for free lunches. That would've been good to know! They didn't request his records from his previous school, so I had to go back to Shrade and ask them to do it. They promised... of course that means they did nothing. I called his old school every day, and every day I went back to Shrade to ask them to do it. Finally, the new school said they'd do it, even though they weren't supposed to. Just before my son left Shrade, he had done the school fundraiser, raising $300 for them. He won several prizes. When my son switched schools, Shrade refused to give him anything, stating that only Shrade students get prizes. He was a Shrade student when he earned them! My son was crushed. Once a week, I stopped by to check for his fundraising items and school pictures. Every time, I was told someone would call me when they came in. TWO MONTHS later, a woman overhears me asking and informed me her daughter got hers a month ago! The woman behind the desk grouchily went and got our things. My son was bullied at that school, and there was no challenge there, no homework, no testing. He was bored. We are MUCH happier at Harmony. Avoid Shrade!!

Within the 1st year, with the proper guidance and support system, he was able to catch up and, in some cases surpass others within his same grade level. This is a true testament to the dedication of administrators, staff, teachers, parents and the student body who all accepted him without judgement or bullying. Simply said PCCS is a wonderful school with an overall excellent staff and prides itself in its academic program. The school prioritizes a balance between academics and athletics allowing for each student's strengths to come to the forefront. Although it's a small school, its unlike anything I've seen before. Academically it prepares each student for college by using college prep curriculum and processes to make certain the student understands the importance of driving to achieve. The athletic department has something for everyone, examples include; karate, basketball, baseball and volleyball. Art, theater, dance, music and voice lessons are available to those who excel or expand on performing and fine arts. PCCS is Christian based however it does not center around one denomination allowing for everyone to feel at ease and not pressured. Whether you attend church or not, you are part of the school family. It is a close-knit community and fosters great student-teacher and parent relationships. If you are new to the school, you will fit in! The overall cost of tuition is carefully monitored and managed to make certain they offer the best value at minimal cost, this does include parent involvement. In my opinion the best part of PCCS are the systems in place to make sure that your child succeeds and will receive the best education possible. If you are challenged in areas like Math or English, you can request tutoring. If your child has dyslexia or another learning challenge, your student is at home here with qualified teachers who will be your child's champion and advocate. If you are an advanced student, they keep up with their needs by offering dual credits for college. The entire staff and parents at PCCS are always accessible and willing to help whenever difficult times arise. Personally, we feel blessed to have found such a wonderful school.

We love PCCS for many reasons, but consistently is one of the main reasons we love it. They continue to pour God into our children in every way, whether it be in the curriculum, or in chapel, or just going to a teacher to talk to. We appreciate the dedication that goes into choosing the right teachers to teach our children and choosing the right admin to run the school on a daily basis. We have many choices of schools to send our children too but PCCS is the only school I can be involved on a daily basis if I choose with the parent partner positions and where my opinion is heard and not ignored. We appreciate everything that PCCS is to our children and our family
