My daughter attended Blackwell K-2. I was comparing it to the old school my daughter went to. Principal Dr. Kozol had a meeting with me and my husband. We told her our concerns, what we were expecting and she was really understanding and made sure that my daughter was with the teacher with our expectation.

Read more When it was time for her to start second grade Dr.Kozol again made sure our daughter was put with another amazing teacher 'Mrs. Rosenberg' Each teacher is amazing in their own ways, but each teacher has their own teaching technique. You just have to see if the teacher your child is put with matches your child's needs. This school has made sure my daughter is getting the challenge she needs! Read less

My son attended Blackwell K-5 grades. I volunteered in each of his classrooms and I was able to see first hand how wonderful the teachers were. He was always challenged by his teachers at Blackwell. He is now successful Sophmore at Kell HS. Blackwell has some of the best teachers in Cobb Co schools!
... Read more Dedicated, caring, and concerned are just a few words to describe them. Because of these wonderful teacher's influence, he plans to become a teacher himself. A large problem is lack of parental volunteers. If each parent would take an hour out their schedule to volunteer in some capacity, more would be accomplished. Instead, a few parents give up many hours to pick up the slack of those that do not volunteer any of their time. Parents that work are able to volunteer if they truly want to make a difference.

The oldest had behavior problems and was given so many chances before we ever found out about it that it made it difficult to do anything about it. Not happy with this school at all. Our two youngest WILL NOT GO TO BLACKWELL. Read less

This is the first year my daughter is in a public school (4th grade) and I have been somewhat disappointed with the school. My daughter did well academically in her previous schools and am baffled how she can still obtain stellar grades when I don't ever see her studying and rarely does she have homework.

We didn't have a great experience. Many in my son's 1st grade class were not able to read basic words 'and', 'the', etc. by Jan/Feb. Staff was not reactive at all to our concerns. After school program was not well supervised. Many 'hearsay' reports of complaints that were ignored. They do have a new
