School Reviews
| 4 I believe that this school is one of the best kept secrets in Nashville. The teachers are excellent and committed to the success of every students. Pearl-Cohn has a strong and positive culture with both students and staff and welcomes parents as partners. I have been really pleased with the experience that my child has had here and would recommend this school to anyone. - Posted by Parent - Firebird Strong |
| 2 I THINK PEARL COHN IS DEFICIENT IN QUALITY TEACHERS THAT HAVE A A PASSION FOR TEACHING BUT MORE A PENCHANT FOR DISPARIGING REMARKS TO STUDENTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THESE TEACHERS ARE COGNIZANT OF THE NEGATIVE IMPACT THEY HAVE THE STUDENTS. THIS BEHVIOR BY THE TEACHERS IS INDICATIVE OF THE LOW NUMBERS OF GRADUATING SENIORS . IT IS A REAL TRAVESTY - Posted by Parent - RLOUI |
