Pine Elementary School serves approximately 400 students in preschool through sixth grade. The school is located in Porter County but serves students in Michigan City Area Schools district. Students enrolled at Pine are primarily assigned to the school as part of the district's boundaries. About 70 of Pine's students are enrolled in Pine through the district's magnet program. These students voluntarily applied and were granted enrollment at Pine, attracted by Pine's unique Fine and Performing Arts focus.
Pine currently has 23 instructional classrooms, a piano lab, a multi-sensory room, a gymnasium, a large cafetorium that includes a stage, a library, an outdoor learning space, a conference room, and administrative offices. In addition, our instructional coaches, counselor, student success coaches, speech and language pathologist, school psychologist, ENL deaf and hard of hearing specialists, occupational and physical therapists, as well as Meridian Counseling, have their own offices. Of the 23 classrooms, one is a support service room for students with a range of disabilities, two are a developmental preschool, and three house our students in the behavioral support program.
There are three full-time related arts teachers, music, physical education, and art. We also offer and extensive arts integration experience to students as part of the school's magnet focus.
