It is a great school with a nice soft atmosphere that is great at making people feel safe. I feel as if everyone has a role at Pineywoods, everyone matters here, and everyone has a voice here. Both of my years attending this school have been great and I've yet to encounter a flaw in my experience. Pineywoods also has great teachers and staff that want nothing more than seeing me and my classmates succeed. Because of this I can't wait to see how the next two years of my high school journey goes.

The new elementary principal is very outgoing and concerned, and MOST all of the teachers are great here. The high school principal is also very competent. Some of the staff was repl...
