There are many fights at this school. Bullying is a major problem. Teachers appear out of it and not too happy to be there. Admin has many problems they are dealing with all at once that it seems neverending and as if most things do not truly get resolved.

When you walk into the cafeteria and they are serving cheesy tater tots with pretzel sticks, and when your math teacher makes you watch a video on screaming goats, that's how you know your school is cheap. Or you can also look at everything else. Heck we don't even have a swimming pool, or even an auditorium.

i came to pick my child up at postlethwait and the staff were not kind to me and said that i was not allowed to pick my child up because they thought i was not my child parent even with proof of id and assuring i was the child mother and i want to aware everyone else that make sure you go in with an id and proof of being your child parent otherwise you might have the same thing that happened to me

The school is honestly a bad place. I don’t suggest coming here, overwhelming school rules and the staff will be in your business making it hard to be comfortable even walking into the school. They say they care about you then force you into something you’re not comfortable doing.

The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, communicate diligently, and enjoy their profession. Leadership is solid. Bullying is little to non-existent at Postlethwait. My child is very happy and successful here. His teachers have brought him from on grade level reading to pre-college level reading with...
