Good school, only public elementary school with a pool in the county. Building is sort of uninspiring, but the school is diverse and well-funded.

My daughter had the best 4th grade teacher! She enjoyed all the fun activities and flexible seating options in her teacher’s very accommodative room. Especially the couch. She’ll definitely miss 4th grade! Furthermore, this school has been great to us.

We are so fortunate to have Piney Branch as our neighborhood school. I would have chosen it from 100 others. One unique thing is that PBES has a swimming pool on site and the students swim as one of their PE units.

Mrs. Dubois and Mrs. Nelson are outstanding leaders who know all of the students individually. The staff and teachers are outstanding as well. The school has a very private school feel to it in that the teachers all know the students so well and are in tuned with their needs. We are lucky to have su...
