Open Quote My daughter attends here and is in the first grade. She started in kindergarten. We couldn't be happier with Old Pointe. Excellent, caring teachers who really take time with each student individually. I volunteer often and it's a very well run environment. My daughter loves going to school and always looks forward to what she will learn next! Close Quote

Open Quote Our girls went in 2012 and we simply were amazed! Awesome in every way! We moved for a year then made the effort to come back after one year at a school that just didn't compare.
WOW....sad how bad it is after just one year! The culture is different...not good. There is a new principal, not sure if thats it, but something put a skunk in the perfume!
My first grader must have an imaginary teacher....like, if you don't imagine something on the daily communications sheet....there won't be any! Our last child hates the 4k program now....after the first one absolutely loved it in 2012/13 {not b/c of the teacher its the school} She is petrified of being outside of the classroom and one new change is that the older sister can't walk the 4k down to her class....I understand the reasoning but just like medicine....at this young age....each case must be unique....this is just oversight or incompetence.
The teachers that were there in 2012 seem to be doing there best to maintain the environments in their classes, but the overall culture seems to have morphed into the "pest control guy that stops by to spray during the day while you are working hoping he doesn't have to talk to anyone or actually do a good job"
Somewhat indescribable how its changed,,,,but its definitely different....and NOT in good WAY! Equally SAD & PATHETIC! What a magnificent resource this jewel was for the Rock Hill Community.....and now after just one short year of decline! Close Quote
