I keep seeing low ratings for Pleasant Green Elementary on different sites. I've had children at Pleasant Green for 7 years now, and I've been very happy with the education my children have received. The last couple years especially, I've had a great relationship with the principal, who really loves the children at the school. I've been involved in the very active PTA, which has helped me get to know the teachers at the school, most of whom are extraordinary. 2 of my children are in the gifted program, and while they haven't been challenged as much as I'd like, they were given lots of opportunities to grow and go beyond the other students in different subjects. My other child has special needs, and her teacher and the rest of her support team (principal, social worker, resource teachers) have gone so far above and beyond to meet her needs and help her succeed. I just can't say enough about Pleasant Green's strengths. Close Quote
