I have been at Pinecrest just for HS and decided to change schools; my family supported me because it was a Catholic school too, we came from Notre Dame Academy. My little sister started in 3rd grade. We noticed a massive difference in the academics and environment. It was very difficult for me academically; NDA is a block system with the subjects, and Pinecrest is an academy realistic with all the subjects daily. I am very happy for my little sister because she will spend her years in a really good school.

Pinecrest has been a great experience for our 2 teenagers. They moved in from out of state and were extremely well received and quickly adapted. The staff, teachers, coaches all became involved in their experience immediately. Great place for families and for teens to learn in a very open and welcoming environment.

Our experience with Pinecrest Academy has been wonderful. The teachers are caring and attentive. The academics are outstanding, and the student population is intelligent, kind, and diverse. The parents are supportive and friendly to new families. Pinecrest focuses on academics but also the formation of a child's moral character. This is a great school if you want the absolute best for your child.

I am grateful for the education I received here, and that my parents sent me here, but I have a lot of mixed feelings about my experience. There were many incidents of students getting away with things because of teacher and faculty favoritism - especially for families with popular names or money. S...
