McCleskey is a great school and my child has done well here. I am so grateful that it is a small school away from the East Cobb bubble and pressure!

My daughter has been going to this school since she was in Kindergarten we've never really had any issues up until fourth grade. She ended with the worse set of teachers, they bully the children an say hateful things to the students an piggyback off of each other. An when confronted they lie and act like nothing ever happened. These two ladies should consider retirement. I wouldn't say this is the worse school but if you can avoid this set of fourth grade teachers please do!!

Our experience at this school has been somewhat disappointing. While there are good academic opportunities on paper, access to them doesn’t always feel equitable. As a parent, I’ve had to advocate strongly to ensure my child was placed in the right classes, particularly advanced or AP courses. The counseling department often feels unapproachable — instead of being a resource, interactions can come across as though you’re asking for too much by simply wanting guidance or information about your child’s academic path.The school promotes diversity and inclusion, but the reality doesn’t always reflect that. For families who are in the minority, it can feel different — not openly hostile, but subtly unequal in how students are supported and included. It’s an area that really needs attention and genuine effort.Extracurricular activities, especially the soccer program, seem to favor certain students regardless of talent or effort. Unfortunately, it often feels like who you know matters more than what you bring to the field.This school has potential and some dedicated teachers, but stronger leadership in fairness, inclusivity, and communication would make a big difference in creating a truly supportive environment for all students
