My son has attended Parmer Lane since Pre-K and we have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the teachers, staff, and admin. My son loves going to school every day and has grown so much there. Most of the teachers have been at the school for more than 5 years & some as many 20 or more. They have awesome programs for all kids like Math Pentathlon, Destination Imagination, UIL competitions & lots more! We love how diverse the population is and we love our special areas teachers!!!

We love this school! It is more like a family. There is so much longevity with the staff. They stick around for so long because it is such a good school. They are also so supportive. We love the PTO events and our child is excelling both academically and socially. He''s in second grade, but doing math and reading at middle school levels. The classrooms are full of warmth and books and the halls are decorated by the kids with their artwork, etc. There is a fight-free motto and a pledge to be safe, responsible, and respectful. The kids all know it and it is enforced. There are also great extracurriculars like choir, math pentathlon, UIL, etc. Highly recommend!

PLE is fantastic and I can''t say enough great things about it! When my kids were approaching Kindergarten age, I had preconceived notions of public schools, especially Title 1 schools, so I started researching and touring nearby charters(NYOS, Harmony, etc). I was leaning toward a charter where I had a few friends attending when I finally took a tour of Parmer Lane. What I encountered changed my mind & I'm so glad about it. I saw engaged students, happy teachers, and the kinds of programs I wanted for my kids. I remember asking what makes PLE so successful & the principal (Mr. Miller) said We believe in & support all our teachers & all our kids. We don't just look at us as ''my'' students, or ''your'' students, we view them as all ''our'' students. This was refreshing and the success of that ethos is evident in their long teacher tenure and excellent student outcomes. I''m grateful PLE is where my kids started their academic journey & I''d recommend PLE to anyone wanting a warm community school that inspires young minds.
