So it's been a while since my initial review, and there have been changes many amazing, some disheartening . 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. read more

This is a bottom of the barrel school. This school accepts anyone and everyone. The word is out - so the very worst of the worst are here now. If your child is a good student, DO NOT PUT THEM HERE! The teachers are busy dealing with the worst of the worst kids so your child will NOT get the attention needed to thrive. If your child is a thug or stupid, this is the perfect place. Your child will be rushed through and receive a diploma and sent to the next grade, completely unprepared for it. They will graduate high school without being able to read or write - but they will have a diploma! Imagine their future success in college, where grades do matter and being able to read is a requirement! Admin is aware of this - but they simply do not care. They just want full classes so they can get that sweet sweet government education money! AVOID THIS SCHOOL like the plague it is. It used to be great - but admin has driven it into the ground. The teachers do not have the tools to deal with entitled students and their entitled parents. If you are one of them and simply expect your child to get a diploma and be babysat all day, then this is the place for you. If you want a better life for your child and a bright future - STAY FAR AWAY from here! read more

Worst school in a while. I was a student here and I broke my rib bone, because another student pushed 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. read more

updated since it's almost the end of the school year. i still find turds in the toilet and i'm gonna be honest so much people talk about eachother, i fit in so it is fun for me but staff yells at you and lies about the time for passing period. when they say two minutes it's actually 4 minutes and if you aren't in your seat by the time the bell rings your tardy and it doesn't matter if your in the class room. teachers will take away your chair or your shoe if you need a pencil or any school supplies. If you report something to the deans they will do absolutely nothing. they will forget it in about a week. bully report is the same thing they will not do anything and they will just say don't talk to them. i don't recommend this school . read more

i am 6th grader everyone is rude they always listen to the boys never to the girls they take away chairs if you are trying to message your parent or someone to pick you up they get mad if you call them in the halls so if you dont want a ton of homework dont go to this school everyone is always rude to one another do better pinecrest. read more

Do your self a favor and don't even bother applying your children to this school. The staff is extremely rude and the students here are beyond disrespectful. My daughter went there for about two and a half years and faced extreme bullying. The teachers send WAY too much homework home with them. The only reason I am even rating this school 1 star is because it's the lowest it goes. read more

Came to a flag football game and was told couldn't sit or stand in shaded areas by some guy sitting in the shaded area. Made no sense at all. A couple of olderly people were trying to cool down and a couch from Pine told them to get in the sun. Never seen anything line this. read more

My kids go to that school and it's absolutely amazing we moved to Henderson and my daughter started going to that school met new friends and all the teachers are helping her with her success thank you read more

I've been going to this school literally sense it opened, and my main thing I have to say is that if you or your child is in elementary, they're set. But as soon as you get into secondary school it just declines and they seem to care much less about you. I do think that they are much safer then other public schools such as in evacuations and lock downs, but the students are extremely unacceptable to each other. I've seen situations where they swear they do things about it, but sometimes people just get away with things over and over. Plus the uniforms are out of this world in expenses. But, other than the students who are extremely rude, I do feel safe at the school because it is heavily closed off and locked. read more

The ONLY reason the school is getting a one star is because of the wonderful summer camp activities that were offered with summer camp. So let's began when everything first started I toured the school loved the education being taught my daughter is entering kindergarten got accepted enrolled her in summer camp REMIND YOU HAVE TO BE A STUDENT TO ATTEND..... I also had her try out for the cheer team out of almost 50 kids they didn't pick my daughter she was devastated I LET THAT GO! then the last week of summer camp I called to ask the register her about enrollment I wasn't receiving emails from the school I was told GOTO THE WEBSITE AND FOLLOW THE FACEBOOK for information and then she says your child isn't registered THEY KICKED MY 5 year old daughter out of the summer camp with 4 days left of it I haven't heard from anyone and no body cares at all!! To treat a child like that is unacceptable on so many levels my daughter has made friends and has already been there TWO MONTHS! Never again PINECREST YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER !! Not to mention school is in a week I have to figure it out! And my daughter is devastated once again! read more

Love this school It's perfect, fun, and kind to students! The kids here are amazing!!! read more

See all

i am going to this school right now and i love it so much made a lot of new friends and now i can't live with out them

Allow me to explain me and my daughters (2) experience with pinecrest and lets see if youd even tell your kid about PAC. definetly wouldnt think about it if your kid is in middle school / high school. To begin with my kids experience, it was great.. at first! the teachers seemed to care for their job, staff were no problem and the principal wasnt absolutely rude about everything you mention to her. ordinary stuff. school looked great on the outside too, pretty trees and plants. helps with masking the chaos that sits within the school.. theres A LOT to unpack. meet n greet was great and nice, complete opposite with the experience. i call these schools 2 faced!! super nice to parents, super deadly to your kids. then as the year went on (literally a month or two after PAC school year began) suddenly the kids became reckless, teachers became rude and extremely unprofessional and the principal became as rude as ever! Oh yeah, there is a LOT of bullying going on at this school. In both middle school and high school bullying is super prominent: underground, online and physical bullying. even from teacher and staff. a teacher in the highschool called a kid a jackass and never apologized! thats pretty serious in my eyes. theres also a teacher that cusses kids out in front of them via mumbling but my daughter wont tell who because shes scared of him? thats not right, thats not how you treat kids. Insight from my babies: my kid was using the bathroom and she got messed with by a group of 5/7 kids attempting to open the stall and sticking their phones in her face while shes on the toilet! thats never happened to me and i went to highschool in Cali.! wondering what the school did? Despite how small (incredibly small for highschool) the school is, they werent able to find a GROUP of KIDS at SCHOOL who went to the bathroom and harassed my daughter. AND there was a camera in front of the bathroom? Come on PAC? 6 (7/8 including my daughter) kids in 1 bathroom? seen harder things to catch, not sure what happened there and im extremely disappointed. Also kids in the elementary love misbehaving and spreading their misbehavior. my daughter told me they wanted her to leave so they can smoke. how great. its truly sad how this school is treating kids. ive read some reviews and 4 years ago a person wrote an experience identical to mine. this is a sign to never, ever think about bringing your kid here. it will affect your kids future and health. they dont teach, they are rude and dont care about the students. this should also be a sign to be careful put there, not even schools are safe. i dont think this school should be running? even elementary seems to be bad imo. the inly thing teaching kids in elementary is st math.. they serve disgusting and not rightfully cooked food, the discrimination and bullying is actually insane and they dont even teach your kids? whats the point of the school being here? im considering pressing charges or notifying a district. this is just not right and this school needs to be watched so kids wont experience something like my kids. AND its not even only my kid experiencing this! this school is terrible and shouldnt be running to this day. it doesnt even do whats its supposed to. CONTINUED REVIEW IN PICS DUE TO WORD COUNT. FELLOW PARENTS PLEASE READ. read more

Amazing school, the admin truly do their part to make it a positive environment for the kids I love the positive disciplinary. A lot of people seem to have issues with car loop but we have the best car loop around. Just do your part and come at the right time. read more

Super disappointed in the experience I had on property. We were at the fields on the weekend watching a soccer game and got told 'No dogs allowed on school property..' by a white staff person with brown hair. My little dog was in a stroller and not barking... and there was not a single sign on the property that stated No dogs allowed.... She made us leave before the game was over. Said "sorry" ‍ read more

Only 1 star because it made me, if zero or negative were a option I would have choose negative 100. my child was threatened by other students to be jumped and my child felt the need to protect himself because they wouldn't/ couldn't. The principal Jessica LeNeave is the worst and handled the situation extremely poorly and unprofessionally. If you care about the safety of your children, this is not the school for you. I won't go into the educational side of things but they definitely make a lot of promises they don't intend to keep but are always willing to take your money and donations as this seems to be what drives this school. STAY AWAY from the Cadence campus. The other campuses are ran much better and having caring, compassionate and competent leaders. read more

Do yourself a favor don't bother with this school. They are rude, somewhat racist, and they give the kids way too much homework. They nickel and dime you with the sports. My oldest did cheer and it was a lot almost $2000.. it's not worth it. read more

I would have to say far too many bad things about this school that I can't even count! These kids are not supposed to be saying cuss words at the age of 9 - 13! read more

I am a student at this school and I give this school 3 stars. All I want to say is that the staff are extremely disrespectful and rude to us students. They don't even know how to talk to a child correctly. Like I just can't with them. If they wanna be rude to students then just don't work there! It's that easy. This is coming from a 6th grader by the way. I'm fresh into middle school and don't like this school year so far and I try to make the best out of it. There is also mean kids in middle school like I don't understand and the staff don't care at all. Another thing is the nurse she is absolutely mean and grumpy, like I said if you're gonna be like that to kids then don't work there! I got dress coded and she was so mean to me. I didn't know what I did wrong. I was cooperative and she just gave me the worst attitude. The staff too. read more

STOP!! PLEASE READ!! DONT LET YOUR KIDS GO HERE!! I have went to this school when I first started middle school. I can tell you I have hands on experience with teachers treating kids badly, bullying, classes, and food. I will say everything. Let me just start off by saying I started out at the Horizon campus I didn't have much problems except for bullying. I then when to the Cadence campus so excited to start off my middle school year there. I also knew the kids who bullied me at the Horizon campus where going to be here too. It was my 6th grade year and I have always loved all my teachers never had a problem with one then I came to this school. They don't care about your education they just want to teach then leave. I had this one history teacher and I had just busted my knee and couldn't walk I was on a scooter type thing. I was going to class and some kid starts running from it like I was trying to run him over...My history teacher then comes running after me. She yelled in my face and told me I cant chance people with my scooter. She didn't even listen to what I had to say and walked away. When she was walking away I heard her under her breath say "These stupid fucking kid" It broke my heart. I reported it but they didn't even care. Then comes my bullying problems...I have been bullied my whole life because I was never pretty enough or skinny enough or even smart enough. At that school kids are bullying you over the littlest things. I cant remember one day I wasn't bullied at that school. In the beginning I always told someone they would pull me and them in and basically give us a warning or send of to detention (like that was going to do anything). There was a incident where this boy pushed me and I hurt myself pretty bad they didnt even care...They send ME to detention when I was the one who got pushed. They never believed a word I said. Kids at this school will get their little friends to lie for them and they will lie their way out of trouble. I was dating this guy at this school and he treated me like crap and there was one day he pushed me on school grounds and I reported it. They didn't care and when one teacher saw me in the hallways talking to him she got so mad at me and caused a huge seen. There was another time he told me he was going to get a gun and shoot me if I didn't date him again. Thats when they finally cared. Even then he got detention for only 1 day! I left school the year I came there because my second to last day there someone reported me for having "drugs" when It was meds for my fractured knee. so I was in the office like all day and I was secretly texting my mom in the nurses office to let her know what was going on. They found out and the nurse made me put my bag on the other side of the room and made a comment and said "Im not stupid." Then I went back the next day for my last day to say bye to my friends and second period I wasn't even talking and he said "Angeleah office now." so I left school. The teachers there are bullies and they won't admit it. That year I had to go to the metal hospital, get put on antidepressants, and get therapy just because of that school and the people in it. Fast forward to this year. I am in high school now first year. I still have friends that go to Pinecrest so I still go to events, dances, and games. I have went to 3 football games at Pinecrest the first one nothing really happened it was the first game of the season there was a fight before I got there but I didn't see it. Then comes the second game I was sexually assaulted and had a gun pointed at my face. My friend asked the guy who was slapping girls butts to please stop and the guy pulls out a knife and tries to stab him! He then runs and they didn't catch him I believe but Im not sure. I then went over to my other group of friends and there was people yelling at each other and I heard is girls screaming I turn around and some guy is pointing a gun at me (I think it was a bebe gun). I then leave with my friend to go home he is traumatized and I am too. I had to get a therapist again and I started having night terrors. Fast forward to the homecoming game and some random girls are recording me (I don't know why but they are). I asked them multiple times if they can stop recording me. They then say "Omg fine ahaha" like it was funny. They then get some 7th grader to try to come beat me up. I simply walk away and when I turn around there is security all over there. When I was walking away the girl was running after me to hurt me. I then get kicked out even though I did nothing wrong. The next day Is homecoming I bought a ticket to go so I show up all ready and everything. They pushed me out and basically told me I was lying about my age and my grade (which I was not). So I went home so upset and had to see all my other friends dancing and having fun other than me. Please for your children don't go here! read more

Horrible experience for my family and I. No hands in teaching really everything is done through IReady and hour's upon hour's of ST math. So the computer program is the teacher. read more

This school honestly makes my blood boil me and my "friend" were playing around with water and then he grabbed onto my backpack and since I had my personal computer in there I told him to stop and and literally smashed my backpack on the ground and so I grabbed his backpack and threw it as far as I could and he tried to punch me and so I punched him and he shoved me to the ground I got back up and punched him 3 more times and his friends started kicking me and and after that they had literally broken my wrist so I went to the nurse "mind this is in middle school" and when I went there she literally just gave me and ice pack and she said like she knew it and "yeah its not broken if its was it would be swelling up" I had broken my growth plate and then the one of the Vice principles came down and she got mad at me when I was literally trying to protect myself "this was while we were changing periods to P.E." and he was literally just playing dodgeball and not once did I see him go to the office or even hear his name one the radio and I had to WAIT 4 HOURS! just fro them to contact my mother I had to go to the bone doctor idk what you call them and I got a cast for 2 months. And when I showed back up one of that kids friends tried to make me mad and I said "fuck off" and some teacher literally ran up to me and just started screaming at me and wouldn't even let me talk so I got In House for the rest of the day and I was so done. So now I am at Sloan Campus I just hate that school now except Mr Trans and Mrs. Rice they were cool my friend told me about him and I just went to he class in elementary and as long as your nice to them they nice to you. Also their food taster like shit elementary food was way better those round pizzas were the bomb. Wasted 5 years of my life. read more

Hi. This a Complete school just read what they have and what the students can learn for their future. Is a plus that this school has open doors with the UNLV. I think is a great school specially the location. Because Cadence Home project is one the best in the Nation. read more

There are a couple of things you need to know about this school: 1. If your student doesn't perform to a certain standard, they will be dropped a grade level in the current school year or held back a grade. This did not happen to any of my children, BUT I personally know 3 people whose kids were treated this way. I think that makes for a high percentage. I would love to know how many students they do this to. 2. It will cost you $$$$ to be at this school. I personally spent over $300 on uniforms for my kids. You can only buy shirts from their vendor. I spent almost $300 on school supplies. Why am I buying my first grader 24 glue sticks? 24 students buying 24 glue sticks each totals 576 glue sticks in one classroom...a little extreme. If your child wants to dress up for a spirit day, better have some money or else they're stuck in a uniform and cannot participate. Don't EVER be late picking your child up. It will be a one-time flat fee of $50/child plus whatever the daily rate is. At this point, you might as well put your child in private school. Sidenote: This is not every pinecrest. I have a friends whose kids go to the Horizon campus and I don't hear them going through the same issues. read more

PLEASE READ My first year at pinecrest I was in 7th grade when I first started there, I was harassed, and picked on by the teachers.The nurse Mrs Henderson is very rude, I was getting ready to throw up and she sent me back to class because I was "faking" it, and multiple times throughout years she's done this.The second year I was held back because the school wouldn't get on my I.A.P testing, and I clearly have been struggling in math forever... My mother had to contact the super attendant 3 times, and still nothing happened.We dealt with it another year, then I went to 8th grade finally (this year) took them 3 months to test me, by law they were supposed to the first 15 days of this school year. I waiting 3 years for my I.A.P Testing. They still never switched me to my correct classes.Anyways, I was at a football game, and this boy was harassing girls (touching there butts) and pulled out a knife on a boy who asked them to stop.Next, there is a "lunch lady" or "office assistant" whatever she is, she would consistently follow me around at school in the lunch room and send me to the office because I would take my mask off to eat. The lunch is literally moldy and gross, they don't even defrost it all the way..I was literally using the restroom and apparently someone was smoking at that same time, so I got blamed for "smoking" even though I didn't I was literally minding my own business.Everyone spreads rumors,constantly thinking they are better than everyone else. NEVER SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!! read more

I have three of my children currently in this school. I have had a positive experience with the elementary school but the middle school has been awful. They offer no help to kids who are struggling and need any extra assistance and do not communicate with me at all. I was simply told it was not their job to keep track of my child. I try very hard to help my kids succeed but if the teachers refuse to provide an updates or communicate it makes it very difficult. read more

I would avoid this school (middle and high school) at all costs, especially if you have a child in special education. The school doesn't follow the students IEP even when they are reminded and told of repeated lapses in what they are supposed to do. When called on it more directly they attempt remove helpful accommodations from your child. Meanwhile the special education teacher comments to your child about how other students should not be in special education. When talking to one of the best advocates in the area, this school has a piss poor reputation for doing what they are supposed to. When told of possible safety threats like unauthorized entry into the campus, the school turns a blind eye. Similar things happen with drugs on campus. When it is brought to the administration's attention after you child has told an adult several times. They attempt to spin it back to be mostly the parents responsibility. I am all for parental responsibility for your own child, but will not take responsibility for other students behavior when at the school during school hours. When a student reports bullying, the admin team that investigates texts others making birthday party plans and make lunch plans interrupting the victim to do so to the point the student cries after talking with them. This school is a far cry from Pinecrest Horizon which has superior procedures and administrative support for students. This school admin tarnishes the excellence we had come to know as Pinecrest. read more

There is a lot to unpack here. The lunch is absolutely disgusting, there is constant racism and homophobia and profanities being shouted out. I am a student here, and i have never been to a worse school. Today, my friend had a severe allergic reaction with hives all over her face and her throat closing in so she could not breathe. Administration refused to use an epipen on her or even call 911 because her mother was not there. She would have died if her mother weren't so close to the school. There is absolutely no leniency in pe for students with asthma. neurodivergent students receive constant harrassment and bullying. Substitute teachers are inappropriate and incompetent. Students are also constantly fighting each other at school. I do not feel safe in this environment. Students sexually assault each others and little to no action is taken to prevent it. Even the the teachers are creepy and too comfortable with student. Students of color are main targets of discipline. The staff are also homophobic. If I could give a lower review i would. read more

Don't go to this School it is NOT a five star school. The teachers don't respond to emails. If a student has an IEP the teachers do not follow the IEP. Some of the teachers can be mean or when you ask them a question they will sometimes ignore you. The strawberries at lunch had bugs in them the staff at the school do not care. I recommend not going to this school. I would rate the school 0 stars! read more

Normally you'll see reviews from parents or officials. But, not really people on the inside. To be honest, I don't like this school. That is of course my personal opinions but there are some reasons! For starters, the uniforms are pretty expensive. Plus the skirts are short at least for a school uniform. The staff and students alike are also a BIG problem. People that dress in any style related to the "emo" style constantly have to deal with being barked at when their simply minding their business. Some staff too seem to be DEFINITELY suspicious to either discrimination or pedophilia.. plus they don't take feelings into consideration at all. Overall, the school may seem nice and new and it may have good classes and plenty of electives to pick from.. but. The cons do out weigh it. Plus (at least for my math teacher) it takes WEEKS and multiple emails and talks with him to get something graded. It's frustrating and just makes the school suck. Would not recommend it.. except for 4th grade and under. I liked elementary there minus 5th grade. One teacher there did in fact show discrimination towards LGBTQ. I would recommend switching at middle school though since 5th grade all in all wasn't THAT bad. read more

I have two students that go to Pinecrest Cadence and we have been with the Pinecrest family since 2015 ( started at the Horizon), but we moved over to the Cadence because we held my son back in first grade. He is now in second grade and is still having the same issue. I have asked for my son to be tested for an IEP but they keep over looking my request. I have even reached out to Dr. Buck and spoke with her once but she seemed not to care as much. I feel since we held him back once and he still has an "F" you would think they would be more into helping him. This school only cares about star testing scores and not the students at all. I was told before winter break they want to hold him back again ( this would be the second time) seems like that's their answers to the problem all the time. When they should be having him tested for an IEP. I have had a meeting with the principal and the assistant principal as well but I still can't get any help. Is there any other parents having issues with their students not doing well? I even went and got my son a tutor which she unformed me that she has a ton of students from this same school who is having the same issues. Makes you stop and think seems like they only care about the kids who are smarted then the rest. read more

This school is wonderful. It was a great experience that really helps children grow both academically and socially. It is obvious that the school and its staff care about the children and that means everything. Great curriculum. read more

I have 2 children attending Pinecrest Cadence. We love this school! I appreciate the teachers. They always get back to me in a timely manner with any questions I have.

This school is amazing, the staff is great and teachers are awesome....I love that my kids are part of the pinecrest family, even if we are not able to attends some events, they always keep you informed and keep you up to date through social media, which I absolutely love!!!

I am beyond HAPPY with this school. Not only is it a great campus but the staff is amazing! Every single morning when i drop off my son I receive a huge amount of good mornings and smiles.

Not only are they a wonderful staff but my son loves going to this school and he loves to learn and do all the fun activities they provide. Thank you Pinecrest Cadence! read more

Our kids go there and it's awesome.the stem program is amazing. The kids are really happy. Thank you pinecreast
