School History:

Since its opening in 2010 with just 60 students, Pinecrest Preparatory has transformed from one of the lowest-performing schools into a high-performing institution celebrated for academic excellence. For six consecutive years, we have proudly held an A rating, consistently ranking in the 96th percentile among top-performing schools in Florida. Our commitment to fostering a nurturing, family-centered environment has led to minimal turnover among both staff and students, creating a strong, cohesive community. With a waiting list of families eager to join us, our "work hard, play hard" mentality inspires students to thrive and enjoy learning. Last year, we were honored as an "Exceeding Expectations School," reflecting the amazing achievements we accomplish together every year.
