Amit Gar'inim School

Our child is thriving here since we went back in person. Great community and teachers and admins who care. Any school these days could use more resources and less complications to deal with but all said and done, the kids are learning a ton, the community is great.

High Point is incredibly special place. It is the epitome of a melting pot - where a variety of races, religions and cultures are represented and supported within the school. PTO is incredibly supportive and involved - always finding ways give back to the school and engage the community. It is the type of staff where most teachers stay for years and years (if not their whole career!) The principal is incredibly supportive of the teachers and knows almost every single student by name. They do not just care about academics but the character and integrity of the child. If you're looking for a school that is going to leave your fifth grader missing it for years to come, this is the place.One note: If your child has major learning disabilities but is still making good grades, any public school in the area is not going to be the perfect fit. This is at the fault of the county (and state) not the schools. The county dictates a low percentile cut off to serve students with additional small group support. Some students who could use intervention do not qualify because their scores are not low enough.

John Hendrix, an English teacher, stole money from Yeshiva Atlanta and apologized to the students before he was fired. There definitely have been a lot of thugs in the Yeshiva Atlanta to put it in plain English!

Our family is very new to Atlanta and had never needed to navigate the private school scene in a metropolitan area before. Perhaps some of my poor rating is due to that of the private school scene in Atlanta in general. Nonetheless, we applied to The school after being told there were openings only to then be waitlisted. This was an enormous time effort all to be “waitlisted”. I felt as if the school misled our family by saying there was an opening and just took the application fee. Perhaps some of this is just par for the course in Atlanta, but overall, very poor experience with admissions and expectations. Also, quite devastating as recent transplants to Atlanta. This has been a far from welcoming experience.

This school is back on top. I would highly recommend you visit. They teach in such a unique way that is miles ahead of many schools.
