Joseph Pye Elementary School 9701 Patriot Boulevard, Ladson, SC 29456

"My youngest daughter go to this wonderful school. Teacher are great also all the staff how works there. They have an extended day from 2:30pm to 6:00pm and is awesome. The do a lot of activity for the kiddos and the are super helpful."

"I am very impressed with their PDK class. The teacher and the assistants do an excellent job. They are so patient with students with special needs, they are firm where needed, loving when appropriate. The students enjoy themselves, they are safe, and they are learning. Excellent class!"

"Nothing but Praise! Our child is happy, safe, learning and the staff has been nothing but wonderful with the first time kindergarten parents. We agree, the school needs a light outside of the drop off lane as there is a subdivision across the street (directly) and it is on a fairly busy road. That is not the schools' fault, but the city's. We are lobbying the city to install a light."

"I had two separate incidents. Students are considered late @ 7:15. When in the drop off line it takes awhile. I went inside to sign her in and it was too early and was sent back to the drop off line. When we finally got to the designated area, staffs walked off and was told that time had expired and had to sign her in. This morning I had car trouble and as soon as I was able to get things situated we were close to being late, so I tried getting her in the school by driving in the front area and have her walked to the cafeteria but greeted by a rude staff stating she needs to be signed in, which you can't before 7:15. After asking questions I was told I don't know what to tell you. Never know what a person maybe encountering but I guess maybe we weren't favorable or important enough for a better response."

"They have an event that calls for grandparents to attend at 9:30 AM. Many grandparents cannot make it to this event and the children are set up to be dissapointed. The event is too early in the morning and grandparents these days have to work; some are incapacitated; other live in other states or even if local, would have to get up early and fight traffic to attend. I seriously wonder if the people who dreamed this up have any children"
