This school is mediocre. We feel as though the re-naming of the school to "East Aiken School of the Arts" was to appeal to the parents who were choosing to send their children to local charter schools instead of this school. Just because "The Arts" has been enforced does not make it a better school. My son is a natural learner and we do not have many problems with his learning, he has made wonderful grades. We have never had a direct problem with a teacher; however we have felt as though some teachers just simply did not care about their class, as if they just viewed it as a paycheck... again, I know this is a problem everywhere, in every profession and career.The schools car-line pick up and drop off procedure has improved greatly over the past few years and flows rather well.Another worrisome thing about the school is the design- please take a tour if you ever look into the school for your child. It would NOT be safe in certain situations. The "arts" should be less focused on. Several of the teachers who teach the arts classes end up making the children who do not have natural talent or want to participate in that art form feel as though they do not belong or something is wrong with them. Art, dance, music, drama, it's all great and important for children to see and experience... but it is not something that they should have to feel bad about if they are not "good" at it or want to do that. I know I would not enjoy dance class if I could not dance, or felt like I could not dance.

Millbrook Elementary School is the best school in whole Aiken County. School has an amazing administration and fantastic teachers. They have great students/ families events like Fall Festival, Halloween party etc.

Almost 30 years ago my children attended SBC Prep. My grandchild attended there. We have had outstanding success with the teachers, curriculum, etc. It’s a great place for getting a wholesome, solid foundation for a lifetime of learning, etc.

Mead Hall Episcopal School gives each student the best educational experience and the spritual guidance they need.

This was absolutely the worst experience of a school I could’ve possibly had. The bullying was absolutely awful, I hated my life, and even though it’s a “Christian” school, I didn’t really see any good models of “Christianity”
