Testimonials-Choose Pangburn
"When my boys were younger, they attended a larger school district but had played sports and made friends with several kids who attended school at Pangburn. They asked to switch to Pangburn school when one was in middle school and one was in high school. I had never attended a small school and was very apprehensive about the move, but agreed to let them make the change. The atmosphere was amazing and the teachers and staff were all very welcoming and helpful. I always tell people it is like sending my kids to school with family. Although we still live in different school district, when my daughter was ready to start school, we did not hesitate to enroll her at Pangburn! Our experience with elementary school has not let us down!"

"From the first year we decided to choose Pangburn schools, we have felt so welcomed! We were brought in with open arms, and it is our home now. Our girls are thriving here! From speech therapy to reading intervention, Pangburn has been able to provide very academic support necessary for our children. We have loved all of the teachers and staff, as they go above and beyond to make sure the student's needs come first. Our daughters enjoy playing basketball and being on the cheer team. We love going to the games and supporting OUR TIGERS! There are so many extra curricular activities to choose from. We love being at PANGBURN PUBLIC SCHOOLS!"

Why Choose Pangburn
"I love the small school setting and the willingness of every teacher to do what is best for every student. I believe every decision made is made with the students at the center and feel like each staff member treats each child the way they would want their own child treated."

"From our first moment on campus, it was easy to see that it is all about the kids. The students of Pangburn Schools are never treated as an inconvenience, or a bother, or a waste of effort. These kids are recognized as young people, respected for their ideas, feelings, and abilities. Staff and students work together, with the goal in mind of continuing a community. A people that are expected to get along, work through their difficulties, and grow to be compassionate and capable members of society. With plenty of emphasis on academics, our kids testing scores continue to increase, and they come home excited to tell about what they have learned in class. Kids are encouraged to try new things, even if they aren't sure of success. The attitude from teachers and staff is "that's why we're here!" Each child is received as an individual with potential for great growth."

From Brandy West
"I can’t imagine another school district with people who care as much for the students as ours. We have experienced this with our administration, teachers, coaches, and support staff. They often refer to students as “their kids” and proudly treat them as such.
The passion that each staff member has for education and the students has been instrumental in keeping the kids energized and engaged throughout the day. It also lends to identifying the individual learning style of the student and, I believe, has been critical to the success of our children in school.
Our family is proud to be part of the Pangburn School District!"
"Why our family chose to school choice to Pangburn School District:

We are very pleased with all the teachers and staff at Pangburn School District. They've made our family feel like our children matter. They're not just a number in a school district."

Why Pangburn?
"During the summer before my freshman year, I moved to Pangburn because it was a School of Innovation, which meant I could take extra classes to explore what I was interested in. I was absolutely terrified of the new change but also super ecstatic about a fresh start in a new place. Even before my mom and I were completely moved in, I felt like we were already part of the community. I was immediately invited to things like community service projects, team camps, and town summer activities. I couldn’t wait for school to start so I could make new friends and get to know my teachers.
Now I am a senior getting ready to graduate from Pangburn and I am so grateful for everything Pangburn has offered me throughout my four years of high school. Everyday when you walk through the doors, you are greeted with familiar friendly faces, and the teachers and staff continuously make efforts to talk to you, get to know you, and support you throughout your journey at this school. Throughout my time here, I’ve gotten extremely close with several of my teachers, and even staff members that I’ve never had. My advisor, Mrs. Ashley Horne, has helped me, supported me, and has truly loved me during my four years here. Amazing teachers and staff are what make this school worth going to and there is no other school in the area I would’ve rather spent these past four crucial years at. I love Pangburn."
"Deciding to put our daughter in Pangburn School was the best decision we could have made. Sophie transferred from Harding Academy to Pangburn at the beginning of her eighth grade year. Everyone was great! Everyone was extremely helpful and did everything possible to make the transition to a new school go smoothly.
We have had people tell us, students do not do as well academically coming from a small school. Statistics have proven otherwise. Larger schools have more kids, not smarter kids. At Pangburn, all students are encouraged to do their best, not only the top 10%. Teachers are always eager to help one on one if needed.
We could list several examples of how much faculty care about the students. Not just certain students, but all students. Most schools have some students who cannot afford to participate in school activities or sports. Many times, teachers at Pangburn have paid fees out of their own money for students allowing them to participate. This was done out of kindness, not for recognition. Pangburn Schools is not labeled a "Christian school", but public schools have Christian teachers. That's what's important. We have found that certainly to be true at Pangburn. Not just christian in name, but Christ-like in actions.
Our only regret transferring Sophie to Pangburn is not transferring her sooner. "
