Open Quote I've been going to Casimir Pulaski since Kindergarten. I've honestly been very impressed. They give you flexibility in your classes, and the teachers care about everyone, and try to regulate things to make judgments fair. The students are honestly talkative, but they aren't crazy. There is little to no bullying, so that is not a problem. The PTA and middle school teachers all plan fun activities for the students, such as fun Fridays, Pizza parties, and even a big school trip by the end of the year. The principal can be strict at times, but it is his job, what is there to blame? When I ask new students about the school, they say it is run like a private building. If you want to send your student anywhere, make it here. You'll be glad you did. Close Quote
