My child has been going to this school for a while now. For the most part the school is what you…read morecall an authentic high school experience coming from out of town to from what we are originally used to. They have various clubs for students to engage in, the school is huge and Ms Rivera was very instrumental in making sure my child's transition to classes were smooth as well as promptly handling any issues related to academics. She was great and very professional ! My child is currently adjusting to the school well. I also love how there is a process dedicated to ensuring the safety of drivers and pedestrians but today was different. One of the security guys; not the elder looking one with the glasses but another one who usually directs the flow of traffic with him and is usually pleasant (look kind of like Steve Harvey, bald head) was not so pleasant today. Before today there are times when I payed attention to see that he has only been attentive to one side in regards to flow. Never said anything just used my driving skills. Today was a day I had to look both ways as I usually do then look ahead to see if I could go and because his attention was elsewhere. I saw that there was no traffic or students so I proceeded to go without his instruction and immediately I assume because I had shades on he thought that I wasn't paying attention. He was very rude and nasty and questioned my ability to see although I continued to be polite so after a while I disregarded EVERYTHING he said after because at this point you are arguing while children are trying to cross and drivers are leaving with their families. I took off my glasses to show you that I see you. He also went as far as to say that "if you have a problem my boss name is yadada Yadaaa ya". So I'm like ok. You are too comfortable giving me your boss name as if I'm not going to call and you're flat out yelling in the middle of you needing to focus on traffic. Immediately while driving home I gave a call to the head of security and he seemed to be receptive of my complaint. Hopefully before the security gets out of character next time he'll think twice and look both ways before he gets mad at a driver for exercising their discernment on whether to proceed against the road or not because I was in the right. At the end of the day no one was hurt or injured because the path was clear. You can't direct traffic and only pay attention to one side. Also as a person that deals with people on a day to day basis you should know how to bite your tongue get out of your personal feelings to ensure everyone is safe instead of arguing with me having students confused as to if they can cross or not because you are angry.

We recently moved cross country and our 5 yr old was placed in 1st Grade. I credit the strong curriculum at PWA. They offer many afterschool activities. Our eldest played chess and Tennis.

We have some of the best teachers I've ever seen. We do NOT do fast food, I bust my butt every day putting out homemade, healthy, well balanced meals. (Yes I am the chef). Of course, life happens and I might become ill and call out, but then and only then will PWA need to get something "fast". I personally take umbrage in what was written by "Martha J & A.J". These two are obviously out to trash PWA, and I say that it's a former employee because, there was information written that only the staff would know. They'd best be careful...untruths, and putting peoples last names our there is NOT cool. My experience at PWA for 5 years and counting is great. The staff work harder than ever to keep this place at the top out our game. All students here excel and none are bullied by staff. NONE, that's an out and out lie! I plan on being here until retire. Administration always has time to listen and fix any situation that arises. They expect us to go above and beyond, and I say, why not? Let's set a higher standard for education. All this being said, I am here defending the establishment that I have grown to love working for, and I appreciate them employing me!

Do not send your child to this school. I know it's been a while for me but from what I'm noticing,…read moremuch hasn't changed. Look for another school in the county but not here. First of all, people at the front office were rude. I would say more than twice I was told off for something that didn't make sense. During this time, I was a student and had to go to the office for errand reasons but this office staff had nothing better to do than taunt their students. Second of all, there was a particular math teacher that was incredibly horrible at helping her students. Once again, always making fun of her own students for not doing great in math. Wow. With the way she taught, she was always very discouraging. Third of all, just in general, the staff and faculty here is very inconsiderate and unkind. The attention to students is not great so if you decide to explain things out for questions or for whatever else, you won't get an answer Because they just don't care.

There is also a lot of discrimination at this school. So many people have racially harassed me that I just didn't feel comfortable going to school anymore.

There is no use of reporting anything if they don't do anything about it. This school was certainly an experience, an experience no one deserves to go through.
