Prisk is a wonderful school. My child was a 5th grader last year and I also have a 4th grader there now. We have been Pioneers for the past six years and it has been great. The teachers care and go above and beyond the call of duty. The Science program is top notch. My children have learned so much in Science. Prisk is more like a private school for a public school price. It has been great! Mrs. Young, the Principal is a very innovative leader. She has really made a great school even better.

I've heard so much about this school, I have anxiety issues. We were on a waiting list for two years before acceptance into the school. I hope the school equals its great reputation. I can't wait for school to start. I wish they had the wrap program at the school.
