text: My two children went to PCDS from PreK until th grade The campus is very pretty and they have state of the art facilities and the latest technology That is the best part about the school Some of the teachers are great others can be very cold It seems that every grade in the lower school has one strict teacher and one warm kind teacher There are very high expectations of the children sometimes forgetting that they are in fact children Over of the parents in both of my kids classes were asked from nd grade up to th grade to have their children tested for ADHA or other learning disabilities for their attention span and lack of focus minute classes are difficult to focus and retain that much information for a year old Lower school was a nice experience but middle school was like an entirely different school The homework load is intense and time consuming leaving little time for extracurricular activities without adding stress In addition playing an instrument is a requirement not an elective in middle school which takes up even more time However they stop teaching computers in middle school which I found odd I know my kids will have a computer in their futurea clarinet I am not so sure The head of the middle school needs to take some computer classes because he has been caught emailing parents myself included conversations with other staff about the students or even about the parents themselves Then he will email the parents a chain of emails where the entire previous conversation he was having is attached When they ask you if you have any questions to contact them Yes they will email each other about another one of THOSE parents and be irritated with your dumb questions or concerns This happened repeatedly with multiple parents and is juvenile and shockingly unprofessional Then there was the teacher that would take points off your grade if you went to the bathroom during class and there was a child in th grade who wet his pants because of it There was the parent who was at a beginning of the school year meeting with all of the parents and was asked by the head of the middle school to stand up in her work out clothing as an example of what your child should NOT wear to school There are SO many stories from the parents and the students of the things that go on at this school particularly in the middle school with the principal of the middle school and almost all of the th grade teachers except for one that all of the students and teachers like In the end you realize your child is just a dollar sign There is little concern when a parent decides they will not be returning They just wish you luck and wipe down their desk for the next kid to take their place
