Amazing school. My son LOVED IT. He had very caring teachers, counselors and principal. The engaged immediately when there was an issue and I didn't need to beat anyone's door down. Very communicative. Great level of instruction. Very active parent community.

Many of the teachers are wonderful and Pierce is a good school. However, the Principal (Mr. Chris Clark) is completely ineffective and has no skills to manage through conflict and should have been removed from his role years ago.
