  • I am overjoyed with the progress my son has made in his subjects.
  • Mrs. Giarrusso did an amazing job this year with my child. I feel she gained a better understanding of her 1st grade year. Mrs. Giarrusso is one of the top teachers in my opinion. She takes the time each child needs to succeed.

  • This year has been a good year for a steady, smooth, and continued growth for my child. I was very pleased in the positive growth she has done and the positive responses from her teachers.
  • I had some problems getting one teacher to respond. My English teacher was very good at communicating. “Others” not so much.
  • Better than West Pender Middle School. Excellent teachers and principal.
  • It has been a great year, thanks for everything!
  • I was very pleased with Haley’s teachers this year and their willingness to help her when she struggled and praise her when she did well. She was very comfortable with talking to her teachers this year and being able to ask for help when she needed it. This year has been the most positive year for her in a very long time, and has truly been a blessing.
  • My child’s teachers have been great this year! Sixth grade teachers are super!
  • Communication is a very effective tool in promoting what is necessary for the students to excel. Every time I emailed any of Nathan’s teachers, I received a prompt reply to my concern.
  • I think workshops for parents (not students) on what to expect in Middle School. How to help your child be successful – study habits, personal relationships, and time management.
  • Naomi thoroughly enjoyed 2nd grade with Ms. Aluise. She has demonstrated much growth and has also heightened her love of reading. Yay!
  • We love Penderlea School! Unlike many other schools, this school is very family oriented.

  • This year has been the best year yet! Ms. Aluise is an amazing teacher! She does an outstanding job communicating with parents. We wish we could take her to 3rd grade with us.
  • I cannot say safe because I do have some issues about the bathroom need more safe monitoring like cameras.
  • Needs gates at entrances, classrooms too far apart with no supervision

  • I am very satisfied with all Penderlea has offered my child this year. Her teacher has been amazing.
  • Thanks go out to every teacher at Penderlea!
  • The bathrooms are not safe being outside.
  • Penderlea could use a little more security as far as distance in buildings and entrances on the campus.
  • During this 2014-2015 school year, I have watched my daughter learn new things and enjoy it. I feel Penderlea has a great educational staff.
  • I think my child’s teachers try to provide enriching and challenging learning experiences for my child.
  • Great year!! Wonderful communication and great teachers!
  • Fifth grade teachers are doing a great job communicating and getting through to their students.
  • Both Mrs. Wells and Ms. Gurganus have been very helpful and dedicated to educating our children this year.
  • Wish I had more communication about school projects he had this year. I wasn’t notified by him until the last minute.
  • I commend the teachers on the efforts they make.
  • I would love to be more involved with PTO but meetings were during working hours.
  • I have requested a conference time and have not gotten a response.
  • Too many times, things are scheduled for Tuesday night – I work every Tuesday night – Also need more than a weeks’ notice when events are planned during school hours to adjust schedule. Kept receiving complaints from 1 teacher about assignments not done, yet my child always makes A’s in the class & receives no complaints from any other teacher.
  • Mrs. Denny and Mrs. Stohr did a great job teaching my son this year and kept me well informed. Thank you!
  • I was satisfied with all instruction. Only concern I have is the safety of the school facilities. Needs major renovation and has needed it for years.
  • Great year!
  • We had a great year!
  • Not happy with open hallways and that anyone can walk up at any time and walk off with my child. I don’t like that she is allowed to go to water fountain or bathroom alone and I never see a school resource officer on campus. I don’t really feel safe with her here.
  • Having a hard time getting Johnathan to bring books home to read.
  • I am very satisfied with all that the teachers and staff so at Penderlea School.
  • Logan has had a fantastic year academically, socially, and behavior wise. I feel this is directly related to the instruction and guidance given by Mrs. Fedoronko and Mrs. Sholar. Very pleased.
  • Great year! Thanks.
  • Mrs. Miller is an outstanding teacher. She is a real asset to the school! We are so pleased and proud of our child’s progress this year!
  • Mrs. Moore is an excellent teacher. She is always looking for ways to challenge the students.
  • I think after dealing with 20 or 30 little kids like mine, she deserves a raise. 
  • Wish Penderlea could incorporate a movie night with refreshments for sale for PTO. Would like to see a fall festival at the school. More PTO activities that are family oriented.\
  • I think Penderlea School is the best in the county.
  • Satisfied with Alana’s progress this year. She enjoyed kindergarten. Thank you! 
  • Teachers have done a great job with instructing my child this year. Penderlea is as safe as can be made by staff with an open and outdated campus.
  • Thank you!
  • I don’t understand how the open plan of the school is, yet the office doors remained locked. I understand this is in a rural area, but after living in the city I feel that it is too easy for outsiders to get in. Some areas can easily be blocked off and leave fewer points of entry. Unfortunately, we live in an age where dangers can be at any corner.
  • I felt like my child should have been taught more and had more of teaching rather than having so many coloring worksheets. Also, I felt like “Letterland” was a very important part of my child learning to read and sound out words and it was not taught on a daily basis throughout the school year. As a kindergarten class, this should have been a major part of the daily routine. I answered yes to the first question because the TA did an awesome job with us (her parents) in helping our child excel in her reading skills. She did over and beyond what we could ask of her when it came to helping our child and for that we are grateful.
  • Great year!
  • Great school year 2014-2015
  • Good job!
  • Thanks for everything you have done for my child.
  • I don’t know if I was satisfied with parent activities offered because I never attended.
  • I think Harley was let down by her parents most of the last part of the year. I’m working hard to correct this problem.
  • Unsure of workshops, safe environment but would greatly benefit from new school (enclosed). Not much communication from teacher.
  • I was not informed of any parent activities/workshops this year.
  • I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate the caring and concerned staff at Penderlea School. I love the environment as well as my child’s individualized learning…Penderlea Pride!
  • My child has learned a lot this year but I feel that he missed out on a lot also. I feel my child will be left behind a little in 1st grade. I wasn’t very happy with the teacher my son had this year.
  • Deberiantraduar al espanollasnotas.
  • I would suggest a cleaner environment for my child. Also, more communication between parents and teachers about my child’s behavior and grades.
  • Math only did a good job communicating; other teachers were hard to communicate with.
  • Closing the hallways in at Penderlea School would make for a much safer environment.
  • Thanks for your help.
  • Thank you so much Mrs. Treto and Mrs. Murray for all you have done for Jayden!
  • We loved having Mrs. Treto for Kindergarten this year at Penderlea! We felt she was helpful, communicative and efficient. We are excited for Lila Rae’s first grade year and feel she is more than prepared for it!
  • We love our teacher! Kindergarten was much smoother than expected. Mrs. Treto is excellent!!
  • Mrs. Treto and Mrs. Murray are awesome!!
  • Under all extenuating circumstances surrounding Natalies kindergarten year ( with her first teacher, Ms. Bridges being transferred, to Mrs. Treto on maternity leave, and Ms. Briggs coming in and leaving, etc), Natalie has exceeded my expectations for our first year at Penderlea.
