I have two children that have graduated from Pinnacle Academy and two that are currently enrolled (8th and 3rd). My children have attended since Kindergarten and I am very pleased at the education they are receiving. I had one child with an IEP and the teachers and principal made sure she received the services that was needed. The teachers are always there to help the students and will respond quickly to any concerns a parent may have. I wish Pinnacle Academy was K-12 because my kids would be enrolled here the whole time. They actually care about their students!

As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
