Sonnie Penn Elementary

My kids currently attend Penn. They transferred from Westridge Elementary. I was very nervous and skeptical because Westridge is such a great school. Fortunately, my experience has been so far awesome. The teachers my children have are outstanding (Ms. Adams and Ms. Henry). In 5th grade, I notice that the teachers encourage and expect the 5th graders to apply themselves, take initiative, and be responsible for completing their assignments to help prepare them for middle school.

The principal and staff have been very professional, involved and caring. All I can say at this point, is that the transition from Westridge to Penn has been absolutely great, and I am a very picky and involved parent!

I found out two months after the fact that my child had not been taking any of the ready tests in class. I found out at a conference, in which myself and my wife were told "you should be making sure he is doing these test's or he will not move up to the next grade." DO WHAT, I am sorry but I make sure homework is done and everything is taken care of here, now your going to tell me that we need to be there doing your job. OK pay me and I will, and the staff can go home, I am getting ready to retire anyway. The kids would probably get a better education, the whole staff seems very lazy and act like they don't care, its always the parents fault, especially if you are like us and a military family. Good riddance and thank you PWCS for helping my child move to a much better school.
