What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, January 14, 2010

All 3 of my daughters have attended Pine Forest Elementary. My oldest daughter is at VJHS now, where she is excelling, thanks to the teachers at Pine Forest Elem. My other 2 are still there, and they're getting top notch educations. I know the teachers, they keep in touch with the parents, and they make learning fun for their students. I cannot imagine taking them to any other district. I went to Oak Forest Elementary in Vidor, and that was an excellent school all those years ago, so I imagine that's still the case. My sister, myself and our mother, are all graduates of Vidor High School, where we received excellent educations, that made it possible for all of us to go to college, prepared. The teachers at Vidor, are so caring, and concerned for their students, they give a lot of themselves to each student. It becomes emotional for these teachers. If you are looking to move to Vidor, Pine Forest Elementary truly prepares each child for middles school and beyond, and they care so much about each child. Close Quote
