    I'm a person who used to go here and I like the staff yes nice teachers this school also has…read morespecials including Spanish and I was in first grade so I didn't get that impressed there was a Spanish class but know understanding I know when I had specials I didn't like the martial arts teacher there because I didn't get my belt on correctly and her reaction what was made me have beef with her, idk it was weird so I would go to P.E instead but besides that there's some details you should know. It's not a religious school, for some weird reason some classes get recorded when they're doing the pledge (again, I don't know why or surpiringsly how.) And every day they have teacher awards. The MPR is really big, I think it's about 10-11 inches and normal MPRs I think are like 8-9 inches, final thing they have 2 playgrounds one is really small (Recess Playground) and a huge playground that reaches 20 inches (I think, that we play at Lunch Recess) There are a few good teachers, but I didn't like Ms. Gardner a first grade teacher if she still works here, she was a teenager but now I suspect she is a young adult but so yeah, it's a great school!

    I used to love this school. My son has been going here since 2020 and for the last 2 years, I have…read moredespised it, ever since they became this 5 star school the administration has cared nothing about the students and everything about keeping five stars as well as the whole pickup and drop off is unbelievable how are they going to designate a fifth grade pickup and drop off and not abide by it....It's unbelievable to me. I think the way they run the school is absolutely horrible. I think the way that they conduct their pickup and drop off is absolutely ridiculous and I'm so glad to be out of this school and over to Cadence next year.

    So it's been a while since my initial review, and there have been changes many amazing, some…read moredisheartening . I now have children in the Elementary and one entering the High School. The Good Pinecrest still provides an exceptional academic program. I've had very open and transparent interaction with teachers and staff (family oriented). Looking at the schools data/ scores and the progress of my own children, I can attest to the success they have in providing an educational experience that can not be matched by the Public School System. It is rigorous and requires students do the work. Success at Pinecrest is dependent on what students and parents put in. Infinite Campus is updated and I appreciate being able to see what they are working on and when they will be assessed. It helps me keep track of my kids assignments and provide guidance as needed. If your student needs help,just ask. They have a system of support that is very student centered. The school is modern and progressive. They expose students to the technological advances needed to prepare them to be competitive as they enter college and workforce. Additionally they frequently have Guest Speakers, various Community Organizations, Events (very active PTA), Field Trips, all coveted opportunities that gives students exposure to every thing from Entrepreneurship, Career Exploration,The Arts, Community Building the list goes on. The programs for Middle School and extracurricular activities offered are top tier in my opinion. I am supper excited by the addition of the High School Career and College Tracks offered to the students. Pinecrest covering the majority of associated cost. Leaving High School with a Diploma, Certification or degree/ credits is a valuable opportunity. The Bad As Pinecrest has expanded there has been a very noticeable change in negative student behaviors. Bullying, Racism, and Mental Healthl issues have marred the appeal of the school. These issues in my experiences unfortunately have not been limited to students. However, when I've reached out I have almost immediately response and have recieved swift action. Once again, parental involvement is needed in addressing these issues and proactively seeking meaningful resolutions. I also feel Pinecrest needs to revamp how they set and enforce expectations when it comes to behavior. Most students there appreciate all that the achool offers. They come in ready to learn and engage in all the benefits the school provides. However, there are some that disrespect the learning environment continuously contributing little to the overall environment of the school. This is simply not acceptable. It does not go with the core values and goals of the school. More needs to be done to support the teachers in the classroom so that they can teach without distractions. Overall, our time at Pinecrest Cadence has been good. While like any other school there are issues, the overall value provided is still exceptional. I hope that as the school continues to grow they continue putting student success at the healm. Creating an environment where all students feel seen and valued.

    Worst school in a while. I was a student here and I broke my rib bone, because another student…read morepushed me. Took a good 5 minutes before a single teacher came and brought me to the nurse. The nurse doesn't even try to call your parents. The teachers are rude as hell, except for like two. Don't sign your kid up here, you're better off homeschooling.

    The school is good itself, but there are some bad things about this school I went to for 7 years…read more As a 5th-grade student whose graduation was recently in practice, they did not let you cross your legs, and one teacher was mean when we didn't get a part right. Next, they are unfair. In 1st grade, I went to the PE class; kids were being bad, and we got in trouble, but I didn't do anything, and yet I still got in trouble. Those were two bad things that happened at Josh Stevens Elementary School, better than other elementary schools in my opinion overall. 3 stars

    We transferred here in October from Signature Preparatory. My daughter felt that public school was…read morea better fit compared to Signature, where we experienced several issues with the teachers and staff. Since starting at Josh, her mood has improved dramatically, which has been a wonderful change. Her teacher, Ms. Weaver, is truly exceptional and genuinely cares for her students. My daughter was struggling academically, and Ms. Weaver called us to express her concerns. We decided to have our daughter evaluated, and she was diagnosed with ADHD, hyperfocus type. Once we understood what was going on, we were able to support her better. Her grades improved significantly, and she received two awards at the end of the school year. Ms. Weaver supported her every step of the way and played a vital role in helping her succeed. While the teachers have been wonderful, the front office staff could benefit from additional training. We've also encountered some issues with bullying. I had to personally address a situation with a child who continued to bother my daughter. Ms. Weaver did her best to handle the issue and even involved the other child's parents. To the parents of children who bully others: please do better. Teach your children to respect others and to keep their hands to themselves. I saw child at the park bullying a kid and the other child beat him up because he was tired of being picked on. Please raise your kids right!
