PRESis a wonderful and safe school filled with caring and impactful teachers. If you have the time, I recommend volunteering to be the room parent. Most of all I love how involved the PTSA is. All three of my children have flourished here.

School tends to focus more on the 5% of top-performing students. Good to average performers are not as valued.

This year's (2017-18) third grade curriculum is extremely subpar. Very disappointed in the administration, teaching materials, and the fact that my daughter is not being challenged enough. Also, I have received very little feedback or communication from the teachers and administration.

This is an average school when it comes to teachers effectiveness. Teachers need more training on helping each student meet their needs and not teaching in the middle. Teaching in the middle is an outdated approach.
