so i have been there for 2 years now. I have read all these things where about how HIES is not welcoming to highschool, but it is in pre-school. their is one simple reason for that, HIES is designed to help you be able to reach-out, this means finding people you know without help. to be honest a 'buddy

Our daughter is a senior who joined HIES as a sophomore after attending one of the 'top' public high schools in Cobb county. The school went above and beyond in welcoming us into the HIES community. She changed from a child who complained about going to school to one who loves going. She has thrived

If you want your child to have a positive relationship with teachers, to develop into a community minded citizen, to reap the benefits of being able to be part of a team (regardless of skill level), to have caring counselors, and to be successful academically, you should check out HIES. I only wish we had made the move to HIES in middle school. Read less

I have a child in the lower school, we have been at HIES for 2 years now. In my experience, the teachers and staff have always taken an interest in any concerns I have had. It does seem that the families are not too interested in socializing very much. There are not many 'playdates' so to speak.

However, the families are still very nice, and many families develop strong friendships, but you have to be a little self motivated to get it going. Still, this is the one of the few private schools I would put my child in. The academics are strong, athletics are great and the fine arts program is phenominal. Don't be fooled by the hype, either- our kids become very successful after graduation. Read less

Started in the 9th grade and I agree that parents are not friendly to new parents. Headmaster only focuses on raising money and does not know the students. High School lacks total direction due to an incompetent principal. God forbid your child has an issue with a teacher, they will tell you it's

I think this school is the best kept 'secret' in Atlanta, in terms of private schools. It is an amazing place, and was wonderful for both of my children. Academics are strong, but perhaps even more important is the work that the school does to instill a sense of service to the community (local and

In fact, I was amazed at the number of contacts I had from teachers and current families when we first enrolled. The pre-school teachers even visited our home a week or two before the school year started, so that our son would be more comfortable on the first day of class. Amazing. We've been there five years now, and I wouldn't send my child anywhere else. Read less

Holy Innocents' is a warm and welcoming school. It is very family oriented and tries to accept all siblings when possible. They have a terrific new family program that works with admissions to welcome new students and their families. We have been at HIES for 9 years and plan on staying here through graduation.

I would say the academics at HIES are okay but not great. My children also attended public school and I saw alot more academic accountability in public than this school. It is also very difficult for new families to find a place at HIES. The administration puts the burden of finding your place back

This school is ok academically. Be sure to compare the classes to a good public school and other private schools. The school is not friendly and is hard to get to know other parents and get involved. Parents don't bother to get to know you. HIES knows this is a problem, but refuses to deal with it.
