I used to think this school was really great, and previously gave it a 5 star rating. This year, the school has gone downhill big-time! I hardly find a good word to say about it! It is a shame what bad teaching staff do, and gossip among the teachers and staff members. I only see two decent teachers now, and the counselors are so interfering and are constant liars. It is such a shame to see this happen. P.C.A really needs to look at their grading and their discrimination practices nowadays, and their unfairness. Gossip is rife among the school, and unfortunately it is allowed to go on rather than be stopped. It is like the staff enjoy the drama. They are crushing kids morale and distribute unfairness in all they do.

Although PTC is capable of achieving success amongst the kids of their school, I have come to feel as though the 'caring' staff are too quick to pull the trigger when it comes to discipline. Some believe that this is necessary, we are talking about kids who in the past have made mistakes. However, how can we be expected to succeed in their schooling when we are constantly being punished for things that can be called minor? Throughout my time, I have witnessed suspensions and other forms of discipline for things that appear nowhere in the districts policies. PTC claims their goal is to form a strong, healthy community, but this goal cannot be achieved until the staff learn to accept people and try to help them, instead of accepting them temporarily, then turning their backs on them and considering them a lost cause.
