My dughter is midway through Kindergarten and I can't be happier. Her teacher has been excellent, constantly assessing and reassessing the kids so that she can work with them at their level. There is a teacher, a parapro, and a parent in the class daily. With the amount of small group and individual
... Read more attention the children get, they can't help but learn. My daugher's reading and math skills have improved dramatically. The class is disciplined and well maintained. Yes, test scores are important, but children are evaluated regularly and if there is a problem the teachers do everything they can to address and get the parent involved. A school can't be everything for every child, but at Tritt if you want help for your child, you can get it. Read less

Tritt is very good school with alot to offer. They are a little too preoccupied with test scores but in today's world who can blame them. They have excellant parent involvement and kind staff. They have limited resources for kids who are just below average and need help catching up.

This school is awesome. My child's been at Tritt for two years now and we couldn't be happier. The academic standards are very high yet she gets a great deal of help reaching them. The atmosphere overall seems very enthusiastic and upbeat. The faculty/staff is doing quite well with the less-than-perfect
... Read more facilities/grounds the county has provided. The science lab and playground equipment are great! I take exception to a few of the previous ratings stating that test scores are stressed too highly and that students with special needs get poor/bad assistance. I have found this to be quite the opposite in my own experience and that of friends and neighbors. The counselors are marvelous. Don't get me wrong, it has a few wrinkles--some parents are gossippy, the annex building is sad, parking is nonexistent. These are very minor things. The major things--academics and nurturing--are spot on. Read less

All three years of my son's enrollment he has been in a class of more than 20 kids. Request for a classroom with lower population was not accepted. If you do not have a cookie cutter kid this is not the place! This year's teacher had very poor communication skill along with bad classroom managment.

Needless to say I may be in a good school district but it only impacts my home value as I am now paying for private school. Read less

Tritt has many extra activities. Unfortunately, I found them to be very 'test-score' oriented. If your child does not test / perform to meet their standards, they will suggest ADD / ADHD medications, persistently.

This school does have great test scores...they will never let you forget it, though. The number of timed tests throughout the year to prepare your child for standardized test is too much. There should be more focus on the individual child rather than just shuttling the children who aren't fast on the

Tritt has been an excellent school with above average parent and teacher involvement. Runs like a public shcool with significant private funding to provide additional education. Very attentive teachers and administration. Safety is outstanding.

I realize this a review section, not a forum, but I feel it necessary to rebut the review posted in December of 2004. I think it is cowardly to come to a nationally recognized website and besmirch the qualifications and performance of two exceptional professionals all the while shrouding yourself in

Furthermore, Tritt elementary had a grand total of 2 new teachers for the school year in question, so if any of the 'involved' parents stopped by to read a review, it would take them about one second to figure to whom the writer refers. These so-called 'green' and 'disorganized' teachers continually exceed expectations with regard to communication with parents and academic and social growth for their students. If the earlier reviewer had been fortunate enough to have them I am certain that she would not feel that her child was at risk for being left behind. Read less

Tritt touts itself to be the best in Georgia, but I just couldn't see it. Its a farce! Parental involvement is phenomenal; like none I've ever seen. However, if your child needs extra help, falls behind, or is in any way not one of the top achievers, Tritt is all about leaving your child behind.

They wanted to put my son back in kindergarten with no testing, no explanation, no nothing after he'd spent 3 weeks in frist grade. I refused and my son went on to be one of the better students in the class with some tutoring from home. But, the school offered little help and seemed to care only about my child affecting their test scores. They didn't care about helping individual children. Good lunches. Read less
