| 5 My child is a 6th grade student at PACS and she loves the school. She has been a student there for 3 years and we are very happy with the education and safety of the school. - Posted by Parent - Stephanie Cope |
| 5 The school is in a restructuring phase and I have seen an amazing turn around process. The new administration is very competent. My 2nd grade child has been enrolled at PACS since kindergarten. I am very pleased with the small class sizes and extra tutoring time built into the day for reading and math. - Posted by Parent - Jennifer Schwartz |

This is not just a school but I would like to think of it as my second family. The teachers are great, they always ready to help me when I need help. The students here are friendly and respectful to each others. I especially love my class this year because I have learned so much and my teacher is extremely helpful. She does not want to give up on us, she believes in us and care for our future. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Juniper M |
