We absolutely loved this school last year when I sent my son there for kindergarten. His teacher & teacher's aide were wonderful! They always encouraged him and noticed how bright he was, which he is. This year however, his first grade teacher seems to always be rushing them and she definately focuses

I feel that it takes a certain person to be a teacher to provide a fun & positive learning environment and sadly my son didn't get that this year. Hopefully next year will be a good one. Read less

As a parent of a first grader, I must say how impressed I am with the school. Not only is she doing exceptionally well but her enthusiasm and desire to learn is extremely high. She likes her classmates and her teacher and often tells how other students tell her 'Way to Go, M'. I particularly like the

My daughter told us that if she misses putting vegetables on plate at the cafeteria, the lunch ladies always tell her she must have vegetables each day and ensure that she has it. Her teacher is out of this world. She calls me at home to discuss progress and strategies to help my daughter learn new concepts. Only drawback? The amount of fundraiser but otherwise I cannot complain. Thanks Chattahoochee. Read less

My child is finishing up his Kindergarten year at this school, and so far, has had a horrible experience. They don't encourage progression in accelerated abilities but more so focus on the negative. I am constantly getting notes home about silly trivial matters like talking in the hallway that should

I asked several times to have my son moved to a different teacher because I believe the one he has is extremely unable to handle responsibilities of a bright child, and was told that this was not an option, even though it meant my child struggling through the school year. The staff is rude, and there is little left to say but its more like a base camp for children than a structured, caring, learning environment. Were I not a single mothwer who didn't have the means, my child would be pulled in a heartbeat. Read less
