Do not go to Pine Hill if your child requires special education services! I have tried to work with this district as a regular education teacher for a special needs preschooler, and this district does not hesitate to violate the child's special education rights. They failed to even assess the child for months and months, and then failed to provide her with the therapy she desperately needed, but offered her unneeded socialization services in a school for autistic children, when the child does not have autism!!

My children have all graduated from the South Bay Union School district and now I have a grandson that we are already planning that he will continue the tradition.
