Niche Grade
Charles Pinckney Elementary School offers third to fifth-grade students a unique public educational experience. With hands-on learning opportunities and a mission to provide students with academic, emotional and social success, this school has a top-notch reputation in the Park West neighborhood. One uncommon practice that sets this school apart is sorting teachers and students into different houses. With four houses, students and teachers become part of a team, working together and building each other up throughout the school year. With the help of stakeholders and local businesses, teachers and administrators host several events and happenings during the school year, like the talent show and house sorting day, to get parents and the community involved in student success. In addition to the core classes, students can partake in exploratory courses like art and music or enjoy after-school opportunities like the chess club and extended day program. Students typically score above average in multiple subject testing areas, earning the school several academic awards and accolades. The unique educational experience and numerous extracurricular opportunities make it easy to see why students enjoy being a Pinckney Pirate.

Pinckney is a wonderful school! The school is very large however my daughter never feels lost or that she is not getting enough attention. She has had amazing teachers over the past three years and I feel so fortunate that we live in Mt. Pleasant and can send our children to such terrific schools.
