Rating 5 out of 5
Pine Crest is my home, where I am surrounded by colleagues that feel like family. This is my fifth year working here and I absolutely would not want to be anywhere else. Faculty and staff are so incredibly supported by administration. There are plenty of opportunities for professional development and growth. Teachers are happy here, and the overall climate is positive. The students are mature and a joy to work with. The campus is pristine, and the school is constantly looking for ways to stay ahead and think forward. I would never want to be anywhere else!

The school has a very diverse, warm and welcoming environment. Aside from the schools incredible teachers and resources, my favorite aspect of PC was definitely the college counseling experience I had. I felt very well prepared. Amazing overall!

Rating 4 out of 5
I have attended Pine Crest School since first grade. Since that time I've taken part in a multitude of activities. During that time I have participated in theater and found my second family full of people who I feel most comfortable. My teachers, for the most part, have been phenomenal. The resources are plentiful and the facilities are excellent at Pine Crest. Coming from a middle class family, I often felt ostracized from the majority of the students who were better off financially. The worst part of my experience was the lack of socio-economic diversity. I'd like to see the school make more of an effort to include students from various backgrounds. In order to do this the school could offer academic scholarships like other private schools in the area do. However, the friendships I have made over the years are ones I will cherish for a lifetime. Because of Pine Crest I am confident I will enter the next chapter of my life prepared to fulfil my potential.
