Never thought would review High School in my yelp career. lol! This review not so much about the BC…read moreHigh School. Instead for the outdoor track one that use for my track workouts regularly. Before I forget I must give out yelp loving for the staff especially the athletic department coaches, teacher, etc. There been times that doing my workout at the same time there having practice (on this day was girls flag football) but never kicked me out. Unlike other high school or middle schools not always a given that they will let the public use the track. At BC High School there just this laid back family atmosphere just like the fact BC small city away from the big city all the glitz and 24/7 madness. The staff even say "hi' and just let you get your workout in no problems. Not just me lot of other people that seen either running or walking around the track get there exercise in. The gate open at 6am and not sure time they close the gates. I have stayed till past 6pm still open. The track well maintained, infield nice natural grass and again well maintained (cause trust me going in circle billions times or it feels like looking at green grass is refreshing/keeps one motivated), and lanes marked well. Bathrooms not sure. Parking lot of parking either up on top or right next to the track. I know BC far away for most people. If ever need get track workout in without worrying about whether going be open or not. BC track is the best way too go!!!!

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.

This is a bottom of the barrel school. This school accepts anyone and everyone. The word is out -…read moreso 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!

First of all, no school out there is perfect. In addition, I think when selecting a school for your…read morechild, you need to have a good barometer of what kind of student they are and what kind of environment they will do well in. Academics - I found Coral Academy to be a good fit for my youngest daughter. They offer advanced science and math courses which are so vital in today's workforce. In addition, I find that many of the students at Coral truly like studying science and math ~ whereas elsewhere some students love to hate math and science. Having a daughter, it was important to me that she be encouraged in STEM courses and I find that the environment here is conducive to that. They offer many academic related clubs in addition to the advanced courses too. I appreciated the fact that they have their students take the PSAT as 8th graders. It gives you their scores early so that you may fill in any gaps prior to taking the real SAT as a junior. Location - Coral Sandy Ridge is in a nice Henderson neighborhood directly across from a park. Size - Coral Academy Sandy Ridge is much smaller than the local public schools, but not so small that the kids don't have a good selection of peers to socialize with. I was happy with the size of the overall school and individual classes. Sports - Some people complain at the lack of athletic activities at Coral. I agree that Coral doesn't have the current State Championship baseball or wrestling team -- or even many athletic teams at all. However, I found that to be the beauty of Coral. Academics is truly the focus here ~ which is what school is actually for! You can play sports on travel teams throughout the valley - so I don't see that as being an issue. However, some students may be a better fit at a school with more athletics. I think as a parent, you just need to know your child and find the best environment for them socially, academically and athletically. In a nutshell - I would recommend this school if your child has an aptitude in STEM courses, doesn't really care about sports and you want them academically challenged. However, if your child truly loves athletics and participating in school sports ~ then I believe there are better options for your child. Hope that helps! :)

My daughter has been a student at Coral Academy for over 9 years. I have never heard her complain…read moreso much about a campus than this one. This is what she tells me: all of the teachers either love you or hate you, if they don't like you, you will most likely fail in that class and not succeed as well as others. Teachers also pick favorites, mostly Muslim, Turkish, and Arab students. For the past couple of years, all of her science teachers at this campus have taught her literally nothing. Also some teachers barely speak english or don't even know what they are doing. Another thing, all of the staff take dress code WAY too seriously. For example, my daughter wore a Coral sweatshirt to school but just with a tank top underneath because it was too hot. A teacher found out that she had no Coral polo underneath and sent her to the office where I had to bring her a shirt in the middle of my work day. Which was extremely unnecessary, like do they have nothing else better to do. Also one of her friends were wearing slide on shoes but they were closed toed( which I'm pretty sure are allowed, like she wasn't showing her toes or anything.) and the Vice Principal, Ms Nourse.Came up to her and took her to the office and she got a minor referral. Also referrals can ruin a child's year. If you get 3 minors you get a major. And if you get 3 majors your not allowed to go on the class field trip. So lets say one student steals another students ID and they cant find it for 9 days, and they have to get a temporary one from the office each day. Then they can't go on the field trip. Also the IDs are literally useless. They don't even serve a purpose, like maybe for identification, but as if a students name is literally on every attendance sheet in every class. And its not like they scan them or anything. So it can get kids in a lot of trouble. Also the staff treats every student the same, like they are a evil. The only good teachers are Coach Gengo, Ms. Silva, Ms Sol, Mr Scott, and Mrs Jonah. "they are the goats" - my son. Also all the teachers are useless snd don't speak english. Thats all would not recommend.

As someone who also attended grade school in Las Vegas, this is easily one of the best institutions in Nevada. The teachers, administrators, and school culture are extremely kind, professional, and knowledgable of the Montessori way.

Thanks to the schools diligence, communication, and teamwork, she was able to show immense improvement in very little time. Ms. Dana, Ms. Rosie, Ms. Adrian, and Ms. Marion ...
