Overall I am very happy with Sango. My only concern is last year my child was in the 4th grade and they had a tremendous amount of homework. Also his backpack was very heavy and he wasn't allowed to use his wheels. I mean if I have problems lifting it, how do you expect a child to?

We wish to express our deepest thanks to the faculty and staff of Sango Elementary School that taught and cared for our daughter during her Kindergarten experience. We feel particularly grateful for the competence, dedication, and professionalism of her teacher, Mrs. Harrison. Our daughter thrived

Sango follows the curriculum set by the state of Tennessee, but does so in an above and beyond method. The teachers level their curriculum to meet the needs of the students in their classrooms. This is difficult to do, and as a parent of a high performing student, I am extremely pleased. The teachers

If you only care about test scores this is a great school, but as others have pointed out this comes at a great price. While I agree in the importance of education, I feel that children should be given a comfortable place in which they are allowed to grow and develop. My daughter was forgotten in the

My son did not fit into the mold (which few boys do) that was expected of a student at this school and therefore was constantly being criticized. As a result I pulled my students out and went back to work as a teacher myself at another area school, Barksdale. I have never regretted the decision. My children enjoy a well-rounded education, including recess, as well as great overall school test scores. Read less
